Coffee - is it India's cup of tea?

The Fifth Floor

Available for over a year

Two very different perspectives on coffee from 麻豆社 Hindi's Shalu Yadav and 麻豆社 Arabic's Shahdi Alkashif. Shalu hates coffee but has had to drink an awful lot of it in the course of investigating why young middle class Indians have switched their loyalties from tea to coffee. Shahdi is based in Istanbul, and has been looking into the mysteries of Turkish coffee. It's familiar across the world, and pervades every aspect of Turkish life - but it mostly comes from Latin America!
