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.
Make it yourself
There is one tested recipe for coffee on this site, starting with “CAFE LA LLAVE ESPRESSO ICE CREAM”. Each has a tutorial video to watch first and a cook mode that reads the steps out loud.
They've also tried sandwiches — those episodes are linked on the right.
