BRC - in the land of coffee...

Place: BRC
Location: H.Zerdabi str. 569
Time: 18.55
Price: 7.85 AZN

A Turkish proverb says that coffee should be black as hell; strong as death, and sweet as love. Coffee is an interesting story, the actual word has been derived from Ottoman Turkish "kahve" (which was taken from Arabic) to Italian caffe, and in the end became coffee. Throughout hundreds of years this drink has been developed and new alternatives have been created. However in Azerbaijan the coffee culture as in many western countries cannot be experienced, nor a tradition as in eastern countries.
