What... don't you guys drink that little Turkish tea?
Nope, thats Turkey.
Here we drink that little Turkish coffee
Interesting fact, Gahve is the place we drink coffee in Cyprus, they are also called Kahve in Turkey, but everyone drinks tea there.
Once the Ottoman days were over the coffee import in Turkey came to an end and they all switched to tea, but the place name stayed as Kahve even if they could not drink coffee anymore. The tradition stayed and now its all about tea there.
However that was not the case in Cyprus, we still function with 2-5 cups of coffee a day from our local Gahve
Also good way to tell the difference between the Turkish Gahves, from the Cypriot ones, ours never serve any of that ready tea.
