Istanbul, Turkey
Despite the fact that Istanbul has been a coffee city since the times of the Ottoman Empire, now most of its residents still prefer tea. However, you can drink a cup of excellent coffee, most often brewed on sand, in almost any city.
But do try the herbal tea here: it has an amazing taste and subsequently gives a relaxing effect, which is surprising since the caffeine level in it is quite high.
London, England
Tea in England is the same attraction as Big Ben and Queen Elizabeth. And while traditional tea is experiencing a slight decline, healthier herbal teas are gaining popularity. They are drunk both cold and hot, both in old establishments and in those that claim to be modern.
Singapore
The Kopi drink is considered a kind of national drink in Singapore. It is slightly bitter, high in caffeine and is always served with condensed milk.
Santa Domingo, Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic is one of the largest coffee producers in the world. But since the country’s residents themselves consume many times more coffee than their neighbors, only 20% of the beans are exported outside the republic. They also produce dark chocolate here, so be careful, you might actually want to stay here.
San Jose, Costa Rica
San Jose, due to its location (it is just a few hours from the largest coffee plantations in the world),
can rightfully be considered home to the best cafes and coffee shops you can imagine. When choosing dessert, opt for the traditional milk cake, the taste of which will be even brighter if you order cafe con leche with it.
Vienna, Austria
The Habsburg Empire is associated with the history of the coffee bean. Throughout this luxurious era, since the early 1700s, the first kaffehäusers appeared in the city, who initially worked only for high society. Many of them have survived to this day, only now such simple joys are available to everyone.
Vancouver, British Columbia
Canada’s most coffee-loving city seems to be overflowing with independent coffee shops. All this happened thanks to smart city policies that support small businesses. Many successful startups like Ethical Bean Coffee cultivate organic products and a conscientious approach to everything they do. So don’t be surprised by how good the latte can be here.
Seoul, South Korea
Korea’s coffee industry is booming today, with the drink’s growing popularity driven by passionate young professionals opening independent cafes. They turn out to be fashionable, craft, inexpensive and at the same time of excellent quality.
Budapest, Hungary
Coffee is the national drink of Hungary, and in Budapest you will understand why. Kávé, the Hungarian version of coffee, is more similar to the Turkish than the European one: this is due to the fact that the Turks ruled here for almost half a century. It took several generations for coffee to catch on, but now it has become an integral part of the life of almost every city resident.
Algiers, Algeria
On average, Algerians consume 1 gram of caffeine per day, which is why there are so many places in the Algerian capital where this need can be satisfied. Turkish coffee is very popular here, as is Maghreb tea, which is usually served with mint.
