Turkish Coffee and Dried Chillies

A traditional Turkish coffee pot, known as a dzezva, its copper gleaming in the light, sits elegantly on a rustic wooden table. Beside it, a collection of dried chillies, their fiery orange hues contrasting against the dark, rich coffee.

Turkish coffee, with its deep, robust flavor, is a ritual in itself. It’s brewed to perfection, slowly and with care, allowing the grounds to settle, creating a thick, aromatic brew. The addition of dried chillies adds a playful twist to this age-old tradition.

The chillies, with their crinkled skins and intense aroma, tell a tale of their own. Dried under the sun, they’ve captured the essence of summer, bringing a burst of heat to the winter chill. Paired with Turkish coffee, they offer a sensory adventure, blending the warmth of the East with the fiery spirit of Latin America.
