About the Item
Turkish coffee has a history as rich as the flavor of its brew. In Turkey coffee is called "the milk of chess players and thinkers". Indeed, coffee became a threat to the Ottoman Empire, because when the people gathered together over coffee, they began to question the political doctrines of the time. At least, that is what the leaders of the empire thought. They believed the coffee drinkers were banding together to exchange unpopular political philosophies, to create social unrest, and to possibly cause people to rise up against the empire. In 1656, the Ottoman Grand Vizier Koprulu established laws that shut down the coffee houses, and outlawed coffee drinking all together. If a person broke this law, they were beaten with a club called a 'cudgel.' The laws, however, did little to stop coffee drinking in Turkey. The laws actually made coffee even more popular. This caused other countries to take notice of coffee drinking. Historians tell us that coffee was first introduced to Europe by an accident of war. In 1683, when the Turkish army fought a battle with the Austrian army, the Turks accidentally left sacks of coffee beans behind when they retreated from the gates of Vienna.
This beautiful Turkish coffee set would make a fantastic gift for any coffee enthusiast that can relate to going to extreme lengths for a sip of this precious brew.
