For me coffee all the way. I didnt like tea, not even as a child 😅

Coffee, yes. All the way. But not all these fancy new beverages that are so sweet that we can't drink them .

I really enjoyed reading this! 💜 I’m Mexican-American and live in Ankara now. I love coffee ☕️

Wow! What brought you to Ankara? We've lived in Istanbul, now in Helsinki! Still love coffee and tea !

My sons are both autistic and they are blossoming here so we are staying. 🌸 Their father is Turkish - we met in grad school in the USA. 🌿 (short version 😅)

That is a great read Daniela! I'm Turkish and have been living in the Netherlands for almost a decade now (fellow expat here:), and every time I visit my family back home I am reminded of how much tea brings people together. There is always time for anyone to have one more cup of çay :)

Hi Elçin! So good to have this feedback from you , thank you! I still like going back to visit Istanbul (that's where we lived) just to immerse myself into that chill vibe when people are sipping tea together! Hugs from Finland to you !
