from a recent trip to turkey i brought home some green beens that i got of a micro roaster in the bazaar in izmir. they were roasting batch after batch of it, selling green and roasted kahve. my non-existend turkish and their non-existent english/german was just good enough for me to buy a kilo of these beans. so i have no clue what i actually bought there...
they pushed a small info sheet into my hand too, but a friend of mine said it's just about kahve brewing and not about roasting. i have scanned it, so if there is anyone around who can actually read turkish, i can post it here.
i'm just wondering now how that stuff wants to be roasted. anybody an idea??? light, medium, dark or even charcoal???
after roasting comes grinding, any advice as too the grinding grade? it seems to me that for proper turkish brewing (it's boiling actually, isn't it?) it needs to be ground rather fine, much finer even than espresso. again, any advice would be great...
cheers,
