Middle Eastern Beginnings: The Early Methods
The origins of coffee brewing can be traced back to the Middle East in the 15th century. The earliest methods involved boiling coffee beans, creating a decoction enjoyed for its strong, bold flavor. Turkish coffee, prepared by grinding beans into a fine powder and simmering in water, remains a popular traditional method. For a taste reminiscent of history, try the Sumatra Coffee – Earthy, Bold & Smooth Low‑Acid Dark Roast, which captures the essence of this era.
