|Not to exceed 250 words |
|Turkish coffee culture and tradition goes back to the 16th century when coffee started to be served at coffeehouses in Istanbul. The tradition |
|has two distinguished aspects which makes its taste unique and provides means toward socialization. |
|As a beverage Turkish coffee carries special preparation and brewing techniques. It is one of the oldest coffee making methods still in use. |
|The traditional techniques used in preparing coffee led to development of special tools and silverware such as like the boiling pot (cezve), |
|coffee cup (fincan), mortars which have artistic value. Turkish Coffee leaves a long lasting taste at someone’s palate due to its preparation |
|techniques which require time and its freshness. It is softer, more aromatic and more concentrated than other types of coffee. It is easy to |
|distinguish from other coffees with its aroma, ground and foam peculiar to it. |
|Turkish Coffee is not only a beverage but also a communal practice that brings together cultural spaces, social values and beliefs within a |
|context of socialization process. Its role socialization can be traced back to opening of the first coffeehouses with its noticeable |
|decorations in Istanbul. Coffee houses were then, and still are the places where people drink coffee, converse, share news, read books and |
|socialize. The tradition itself is a symbol of hospitality, friendship, delicacy, and entertainment. All these are reflected in the famous |
|Turkish proverb “the memory of a cup of coffee lasts for forty years.” This saying represents how important and profound coffee is in Turkish |
|culture. |
|Who are the bearers and practitioners of the element? Are there any specific roles or categories of persons with special responsibilities for |
|the practice and transmission of the element? If yes, who are they and what are their responsibilities? |
|Not to exceed 250 words |
|Turkish coffee tradition is practiced by all members of the society in Turkey; especially, families, producers of cups and pots, master- |
|apprentices at coffee houses, workers, ground coffee sellers have engaged in the tradition. In addition visiting foreigners regard this |
|tradition as one of the symbols of the Turkish life style. The tradition is regarded by the whole of Turkish society as part of their cultural |
|heritage and is shared by all individuals from every cultural and intercultural level. Since it was introduced to Turkish society in the 16th |
|century, coffeehouses have been opened even in the smallest settlements. This is a proof of the continuing and increasing demands for the |
|Turkish coffee from past to present. It is almost impossible to imagine a Turkish house without one or more sets of cups for Turkish coffee. |
|Indeed, differently from other beverages, the Turkish coffee is perceived as a symbol of the Turkish life-style rather than need by all the |
|bearers and practitioners of the tradition. Therefore the Turkish coffee and tradition provides strong social and dialogical interactions |
|between all levels of the Turkish society. |
|How are the knowledge and skills related to the element transmitted today? |
|Not to exceed 250 words |
|The knowledge, skills, know-how and rituals pertaining to the Turkish coffee culture and tradition are kept in an informal way by all members |
|of family through word of mouth, observation and participation. The person who is born in a Turkish family learns ways of Turkish coffee |
|brewing from previous generation in a natural way and internalizes it as an element of Turkish life style. Besides family, coffeehouses, as |
|cultural spaces, provide an environment in which this tradition has been transmitted professionally. The coffeehouses are indispensable for the|
|tradition, since historically coffeehouses precede the domestic consumption of coffee at homes. |
|Actual preparation of Turkish coffee requires several and highly elaborated steps and skills. First, it should be freshly roasted good quality |
|beans are grinded (preferably) in a mortar or in a mill until beans turn into a fine powder. Next, coffee, cold water, and sugar, if desired, |
|are put into the coffee pot. It is placed on the stove and coffee is brewed slowly ensuring that foam is formed on the surface. Finally, it is |
|served with a glass of water and Turkish delight. To catch the pleasant taste requires some skills such as the way and degree with which the |
|coffee is roasted. It is crucial to roast all the coffee beans equally and wait some certain time. |
|Turkish coffee preparation method is learnt and carried on through families and coffeehouses without any specific strategy for its promotion, |
|which is a sign for widespread consumption and for its cultural significance. |
|What social and cultural functions and meanings does the element have today for its community? |
|Not to exceed 250 words |
|With its profound effect on Turkish lifestyle, Turkish coffee plays a central role in culture as beacon of hospitality and friendship. Special |
|guests are served coffee in special coffee cups more elaborate than the ones used daily to honor their dignity. The tradition is permeated |
|through all walks of life and it is taken as a pretext to further already existing social relations as expressed in the Turkish proverb “souls |
|are after neither coffee nor coffeehouses; they are after close companionship; coffee is an excuse.” Invitation for coffee among friends is an |
|indication for a need to intimate talk, or sharing daily issues. As a widespread tradition, after finishing coffee, the cup is rotated, a wish |
|is made, the cup is turned upside down on the saucer, left for cooling. Apparent images are interpreted in the coffee cup according to the |
|“rules” of fortunetelling as a part of entertainment. |
|Turkish coffee is always an indispensable part of certain social occasions such as engagement ceremonies, holidays, socializing meetings. Even |
|in period of non-availability due to economic crisis coffee consumption has remained the same by replacing coffee beans by false grains from |
|other species such as chickpea, wild pistachio, date seeds, proving that Turkish coffee tradition is an indispensable deep cultural custom. |
|Turkish coffee has huge impact on literature so that countless poems and songs have been written to describe the feelings and functions |
|relevant to the tradition. It also holds a great place in mystic verses, rituals, miniature crafts and paintings. Therefore the tradition |
|provides communities and groups involved with sense of identity and continuity in Turkish culture. |
|Is there any part of the element that is not compatible with existing international human rights instruments or with the requirement of mutual |
|respect among communities, groups and individuals, or with sustainable development? |
|Not to exceed 250 words |
|Turkish coffee culture and tradition does not violate any human rights instruments or the mutual respect and trust existing among communities, |
|groups and individuals. |
|Turkish coffee culture and tradition is in harmony with fundamental international agreements on human rights and it provides mutual |
|understanding and respect among individuals form different cultures and backgrounds. Everyone is welcome to share and practice the tradition. |
|The tradition, in accordance with the individual and community aspirations, shares much optimism, improves relationships in the community. It |
|also motivates the members of the community to be involved in common cultural activities and social meetings. |
|Throughout its history, Turkish coffee has played a positive role in bringing people together, providing an atmosphere for friendly relations, |
|facilitating communication and making prejudices disappear among people with different cultural backgrounds. It has contributed intercultural |
|dialogue, reinforced social ties by encouraging conversation. Moreover, the invaluable role of the Turkish coffee tradition as ICH element |
|would bring individuals together and ensure exchange and understanding among them in the context of the Convention. |
|2. Contribution to ensuring visibility and awareness and |
|to encouraging dialogue |
|For Criterion R.2, the States shall demonstrate that ‘Inscription of the element will contribute to ensuring visibility and awareness of the |
|significance of the intangible cultural heritage and to encouraging dialogue, thus reflecting cultural diversity worldwide and testifying to |
|human creativity’. |
|How can inscription of the element on the Representative List contribute to the visibility of the intangible cultural heritage in general and |
|raise awareness of its importance at the local, national and international levels? |
|Not to exceed 150 words |
|At local and national levels, the inscription of the element would help people to remind the tradition of coffee brewing, ensuring transmission|
|of certain standards of it; help to realize the exact meaning and significance of Turkish coffee tradition as a means of socialization and |
|communal relations; meet the need to build greater awareness, also draw attention to the importance of an ICH and its safeguarding especially |
|among the younger generations. Therefore, the significance of coffee, as a popular drink in Turkey, would be appreciated. |
|At the international level, the inscription of the element would encourage mutual understanding among different cultures in a way that raises |
|the awareness of the tradition which reflects the principles and objectives of the Convention as one of the ICH elements. The element not only |
|contributes awareness to itself, but also provides visibility of other ICH elements such as craftsmanship, oral tradition, social practices |
|etc. |
|How can inscription encourage dialogue among communities, groups and individuals? |
|Not to exceed 150 words |
|Drinking or serving Turkish coffee is always a form of social interaction with other individuals. Although Turkish coffee has a standard style,|
|this makes it unique and different than other beverages since whenever or wherever one drinks Turkish coffee one can always remember precious |
|moments with the others. People have become acquainted with coffee through the establishment of coffeehouses. The coffeehouses are not just a |
|place to drink coffee; they function as cultural spaces in which people come from different cultural, social and professional backgrounds |
|including writers, poets, artists to converse, to share their problems, to read newspapers, to discuss social and political issues, to display |
|their works of arts, poetry and literature, or to play chess and backgammon in their leisure time. After the inscription, the coffeehouses |
|would retain and develop their role as a center or a place where information and knowledge have exchanged, promoting socialization and |
|communication. |
|How can inscription promote respect for cultural diversity and human creativity? |
|Not to exceed 150 words |
|The inscription of Turkish coffee culture and tradition would promote respect for cultural diversity and human creativity since values and |
|rituals surrounding the tradition are open to all individuals. The tradition prepares a fertile ground for human creativity and brings out |
|human potential especially around the tradition of craftsmanship for making the special tools and utensils that are used for making Turkish |
|coffee. Since most of the apparatus such as coffee roaster, coffee cups, trays, coolers, mortars, hand grinders, pot, coffee jug, special |
|vessels made of precious materials like silver, have distinguished artistic value and constitute unique works of art in their forms, people |
|prefer to display them on their private collections as antiques. The inscription would make coffee, coffeehouses and coffee craftsmanship |
|continue to be source of inspiration for literature, crafts, lyrics etc., and would add value to the coffeehouse as unique places for cultural |
|diversity and human creativity. |

|element. |
|What measures are proposed to help to ensure that the element’s viability is not jeopardized in the future, especially as an unintended result |
|of inscription and the resulting visibility and public attention? |
|Not to exceed 750 words |
|The inscription of the element would not cause the unintended results; on the contrary, it would encourage mutual understanding among peoples |
|and cultures in a way of raising the awareness regarding Turkish coffee. MoCT proposed some measures with the participation of NGOs, bearers, |
|and scholars of the Turkish coffee tradition regarding certain safeguarding measures for the element as mentioned below: |
|Turkish Coffee Culture and Research Association has proposed several measures for viability and public attention: |
|It will organize an exhibition called “The journey of Turkish coffee” in Topkapı Palace which is intended to organize every year in different |
|capitals across the world. |
|Museum Coffee Houses: The aim of the project is to point out cultural and social inheritance of Turkish coffee and to provide workshops to |
|teach how to brew and present traditional Turkish coffee in the modern coffee houses which would be established in different museums across the|
|country. |
|Standardization of Turkish Coffee: The Association applied to TSI (Turkish Standards Institution) in order to standardize of Turkish coffee. |
|The project aims to specify the criteria including the type of coffee, roasting technique, degrees of roasting and grinding, packaging types, |
|the amounts of coffee and sugar (if desired) for a cup, the features of water, coffeepot, cup, heat sources, the amounts of foam, thickness, |
|color, heat interval, liquid, taste and coffee ground to get high quality Turkish coffee. The project also aims to develop, generalize and |
|implement product, method, service standard and literature about the coffee. The project of standardization was formed by contribution of |
|scientists without carrying any commercial purpose. By this project, the threat of instant Turkish coffee would be prevented. |
|Smart Phone Applications: By this application, the users of smart phone could find the closest places which serve Turkish coffee in a |
|traditional way to them, view the places on the map, comment about them, and share the pictures of the places on social media. |

|be informative, enriched by exhibitions and address both local and foreign users by its visual aspect. It will exhibit visual presentation of |
|all the details about the ethnic and geographical development of Turkish coffee starting with the world history, its entrance to Ottoman |
|Empire, the place of Turkish coffee in gastronomy and tradition, brewing techniques, its service and presentation to its users. It is a project|
|of a modern virtual museum which is so different from a static museum and which will bring people interested in coffee together. It will be |
|educative and dynamic with different sections whose content will be updated frequently, such as competitions, exhibition rooms, galleries, |
|library, archive, and café. |
