World Turkish Coffee Day marked

World Turkish Coffee Day was celebrated on Thursday, highlighting the cultural and historical significance of Turkish coffee. Recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, Turkish coffee is a symbol of hospitality, friendship, and conversation. It has inspired global coffee traditions and continues to strengthen cultural bonds worldwide.

World Turkish Coffee Day was marked on Thursday, celebrating the unique beverage's cultural and historical significance that extends far beyond its role as a caffeinated drink.

In a statement, Türkiye's Communications Directorate highlighted Turkish coffee as a reflection of the country's rich cultural heritage.

"Turkish coffee, a unique gift from the Turks to the world, embodies the aesthetic values of our ancient civilization with its preparation, presentation, and story," it said.

The statement also noted Turkish coffee's inclusion in UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2013. "We continue to preserve this cultural treasure, which has inspired global coffee traditions...and promote Dec. 5 as World Turkish Coffee Day worldwide," it added.

UNESCO emphasized Turkish coffee's role in fostering connections, noting: "The tradition itself is a symbol of hospitality, friendship...an invitation for an opportunity for intimate talk."

The Yunus Emre Institute, a Turkish non-profit organization that promotes Turkish culture around the world, described Turkish coffee as an enduring symbol of friendship and conversation, enriching lives across geographies for centuries.

Turkish coffee was added to UNESCO's list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity on Dec. 5, 2013.

Since then, World Turkish Coffee Day has been annually celebrated to promote Türkiye's 500-year-old coffee culture and its significant historical value while building cultural bonds.

Deeply rooted in Turkish culture, Turkish coffee is celebrated as more than just a drink—it is a ritual of togetherness and reflection, encapsulated by the saying: "A cup of coffee drunk together remains in the heart for forty years."
