Tribal People Try Coffee
About this video
Tribal People Try sits the tribe down with coffee. It's filmed in the village, not a studio, and what you see is what happened on the day.
What is coffee?
Coffee in its western forms: black filter coffee, espresso, cappuccino, Starbucks frappuccinos, cold brew. Pakistan is a tea country, and most of the tribe had never tasted coffee before the camera arrived.
What to watch for
Black coffee is bitter in a way nothing in village food prepares you for, and the faces show it. Milky, sugary coffees fare far better; a Starbucks caramel drink is essentially a cold dessert and is treated as one.
The comparison they always make
Doodh patti — strong tea boiled in milk with sugar — is drunk several times a day. Every coffee is compared to it, and coffee usually loses on the first cup.
