(251214) -- ISTANBUL, Dec. 14, 2025 (Xinhua) -- Can Ozmen, owner of the Turkish cafe Mandabatmaz, makes Turkish coffee at his cafe in Istanbul, Türkiye, Nov. 22, 2025. Mandabatmaz, a Turkish cafe, is located in a small alley beside Istiklal Avenue in Istanbul. The owner, Can Ozmen, took over this small coffee shop with a history of nearly sixty years from his parents. To carry on the tradition, he still insists on brewing coffee with copper pots. Ozmen introduced that Turkish coffee should be consumed with coffee grounds, which makes Turkish coffee unique. "Unlike other coffees, which are filtered, Turkish coffee is enjoyed in its entirety," Ozmen explained. Turkish coffee has a long history and was inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2013. While in China, a riverside cafe in Yunnan also wins fame among coffee lovers. Li Jinhe, 53, has operated his cafe in Mangkuan under Baoshan City in Gaoligong Mountains for 14 years. His "flame-brewed coffee", which made by a blowtorch to heat beneath siphon pots, has taken the Internet by storm for its originality, turning his cafe into a viral sensation. Tourists said that the coffee shop by the Nujiang River has broken the stereotype of urban coffee, and coffee should be a daily drink integrated into life. "I grew up here, and love Gaoligong Mountains," said Li. The Gaoligong Mountains, where fertile soil, ideal temperatures and abundant sunlight situate it within the global coffee-growing belt, boast small-bean coffee. "It is my unwavering commitment to promote local small-bean coffee," added Li. Although made by different ways, both Turkish and Chinese coffee tell the story of people's pursuit of life with warmth and aroma. (Xinhua/Liu Lei)
