From Ottoman Palaces to Your Portafilter: Why Turkish Beans Deserve a Comeback

In the 1500s, Turkish coffee wasn’t just a drink.
It was a diplomatic tool. A royal ritual. A symbol of status, power, and hospitality.

Coffeehouses in Istanbul sparked political debate, poetry, and community before Paris or London ever caught on.

But today?
Most cafés don’t serve a single gram of Turkish-grown coffee.

Why?

Because the supply chain was outdated.
And the narrative got stuck in the past.

At Inertum, we’re rewriting that story.

We partner directly with farms across Turkey’s volcanic regions — exporting raw, unbranded specialty beans built for modern formats: espresso, pour-over, cold brew.

It’s not “traditional” coffee.
It’s a historic origin with a future-forward profile.

Think:
• Chocolate, spice, smooth acidity
• Cupping scores 83+
• Stable pricing even during 2024’s price surge

The coffee world doesn't need another origin hype cycle.
It needs real sourcing stories that connect flavor, place, and purpose.

And Turkey? Has all three.
