Osmanlı kahvesi — Ottoman coffee — is the palace-era variation of Turkish coffee: the same fine grind, enriched with the flavors once prepared for the Ottoman court. Osso, a roaster from Adıyaman in southeastern Turkey whose label reads "Saraydan Gelen Lezzet" (flavor from the palace), builds its version from eight ingredients: Yemeni coffee, carob, menengiç (roasted wild terebinth berries), salep, chocolate drops, cream, mastic gum and cardamom. Those are the "8 different flavors" printed on the gold pouch.
The cup drinks rounder and sweeter than plain Turkish coffee. Carob and chocolate give it natural body, mastic adds the faint resin aroma familiar from Turkish ice cream and desserts, cardamom points it toward Arabic coffee, and menengiç — a southeastern Turkish specialty — finishes it with a nutty, roasted note.
Brew it exactly like Turkish coffee:
- One heaped teaspoon per demitasse of cold water in a cezve; add sugar now if you take it.
- Heat slowly on low. As the foam rises, lift the pot and spoon the foam into the cups.
- Return briefly to the heat for a second rise, then pour and let it settle a minute before drinking.
The 200 g pouch brews roughly 25 small cups. Two things to know before ordering: the blend contains cream, a milk derivative, so it is not dairy-free, and like any coffee it is caffeinated. If you already drink Turkish coffee and want to taste the blend it grew out of — or you searched for Ottoman coffee with mastic and want a true multi-ingredient blend rather than flavored plain coffee — this is that blend, ground fine and made in Turkey.
