Coffee is not just a crop, it' s a way of life...
At El Turco Coffee, we believe in the rich history, culture, and passion that defines coffee. Our beans are cultivated on the lush farms in the Nariño region of Colombia, one of the world’s most renowned coffee-growing areas. We blend this exquisite Colombian origin with the deep, rich traditions of Turkish coffee culture to create something truly unique. Let us tell you the story behind our coffee, and why it’s not just a beverage—it’s an experience.
The Best Coffee Beans in the World: Colombian Coffee
​
For centuries, Colombia has been synonymous with the best coffee beans in the world. The combination of perfect altitude, tropical climate, and volcanic soil makes the Nariño region an ideal environment for growing high-quality coffee beans. These beans are known for their rich, smooth flavors—complex, yet balanced.
​
The coffee from Nariño is prized for its bright acidity and hints of chocolate, caramel, and fruit, offering a cup that's both bold and smooth. At El Turco Coffee, we hand-pick each bean to ensure only the finest beans make it to your cup. Our farmers in the Nariño region, with generations of experience, harvest beans at their peak to provide a taste that’s second to none.
​
But coffee is not just a crop; it's a way of life. The people of Nariño pour their hearts and souls into their coffee, ensuring that each cup tells a story of tradition, care, and craftsmanship. It's a connection to the earth, a culture of quality, and a promise to deliver only the best to our customers.

The Origins of Turkish Coffee: Crafting a Timeless Tradition
​
While Colombian coffee beans have made their mark globally, there’s a rich history behind how coffee became an integral part of Turkish culture. The journey begins in Yemen, where coffee was first cultivated centuries ago. In the 15th century, Yemeni people would bring a gift of roasted coffee beans to the Ottoman Empire. However, the Ottomans didn’t just snack on the beans—they transformed them.
​
Instead of consuming the beans like nuts, the Ottomans boiled them with water, creating a deeply rich and aromatic drink. This brewing method eventually evolved into the iconic Turkish coffee we know today—a drink known for its strong, full-bodied flavor and smooth, thick texture. Turkish coffee is not just about taste; it’s about ritual, hospitality, and the art of brewing. The fine-ground beans are simmered in a special pot called a cezve and served in small, ornate cups, often accompanied by a glass of water and a piece of Turkish delight.
Turkish coffee isn't just a drink—it's an experience, one that invites you to slow down, savor the moment, and appreciate the craftsmanship behind each cup. It's also a symbol of hospitality, a gesture of respect, and an integral part of the social fabric of Turkish culture.

El Turco Coffee: The Birth of a New Tradition
At El Turco Coffee, we wanted to combine the best of both worlds—Colombian coffee and Turkish coffee craftsmanship. We are a bridge between two cultures that, while distinct, share a deep love for coffee and its role in bringing people together.
​
Our founder, a Turkish native with deep roots in coffee culture, saw the potential to merge the exceptional quality of Colombian coffee with the centuries-old methods of Turkish coffee brewing. Our beans are grown with love and care in Colombia’s Narino region, but they are roasted and packaged with the same attention to detail and artistry that Turkish coffee culture demands.
When you drink El Turco Coffee, you’re not just sipping a beverage—you’re experiencing a cultural fusion, a story that connects two far-flung corners of the world. We invite you to take part in our tradition, whether it's through the rich flavor of our Colombian beans, or by embracing the Turkish craftsmanship in every brew.
