SOMALI COFFEE || KAXWO SOOMAALI || Talking about coffee in Somali

[@BlackStall10n]

I just discovered your channel Akhi and I like your contents, Allahuma Barik.

I've had a lot of tea with Somalis (very similar to Indian chai masala, but without milk), but hadn't seen anyone serving or making coffee. I found out about adding similar spices to coffee by seeing ziplock bags of "Somali Coffee" in a Middle Eastern grocery store. I'm always putting together various proportions of similar spices to add to tea, so seeing the coffee bags inspired me to try doing the same thing myself. I've also been experimenting with adding Mexican/Hispanic sweet chocolate pieces to coffee instead of their usual purpose of making hot chocolate. OK, so from this video I got that there's cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger in Somali coffee. Indian chai often will also have cloves, fennel, and black pepper. There's also a version with just some ginger (and milk) added to the tea, which someone told me is common in Gujarat. And I will sometimes add star anise or nutmeg. The mystery drink for me is Thai tea. I have not been able to duplicate that flavor, so I still buy the packaged stuff from Asian grocery stores, despite my reluctance to ingest artificial food coloring. It looks like tea leaves, but the smell is unique. The secret is not in the sweetened condensed milk. There's probably star anise in it, but that's not enough to give it that unique flavor.

Large part of what is now is Ethiopia is inhibited by somalis also traders from the coast of somalia use to trade it to Yemen in the medevel period.

[@TheHaqqRemains]

[@peacepeace9765]

Up in the North they call Coffee 'Bun'. We put ginger in everything hehe.

[@fariafarah6750]

That's interesting as in Amharic the Ethiopian language they called Coffee buuna

[@aminaali3650]

Jazakumullahu khayran for your videos. I know cardamom as Hayl. not sure about the spelling though. In Bravanese cardamom is Hilki.

[@suadshiikh8082]

nice, can u tell us how to make a cup of kaxwo. How much sugar? how much water?. then we can add milk to taste or not. I have had ppl from other countries ask me this, and it would be lovely to tell them.

[@zxsdwe170]

Brother it's no kaxwe it with Q as in ق I though it another word but the sentence helped me 🤗

[@xumaandiidxoreye5232]

Sam of somaliya this is how to say (qaxwo or gaxwo or bun it depends which part of somali are you, I never heard KAXWO

[@greenlover492]

In Mogadishu they don't add sugar and they don't add milk. maybe some other part of Somalia they have it with sugar.

[@SamOfSomaliaTV]

greenlover thank you very much for the info!

[@aburamenation2091]

+Sam Of Somalia we also call (Bun) in North of Somalia.

[@farxiyodheyman4887]

Sam Of Somalia adi ma garaneysaa afsomali can you speck somalia where are you from

[@mohamedabdimohamud6676]

@@aburamenation2091 bun is correct word than kaxwo

[@alimohamed2491]

u don’t add sugar if u eating with something sweet like xalwo or timir but if u drinking it self yes u do have to add sugar in mugadishu or else where my family from kismayo where qaxwo is more famous than mogadishu so yeah

[@mr.unonym3846]

We most people in the north say Bun

[@fariafarah6750]

Interesting facts since so much of some of Land of Ethiopia actually belongs to Somali people and it was a stolen land thus coffee grows in Somalia it's just not called Somalia anymore unfortunately.

[@sagal15]

In the Northern Somalia (Waqooyi Galbeed) We say "Xanshar". If where talking about the same thing, we usually say in the north that the word "qahwe" and "Xanshar" are the same. One thing you forgot to say is that "Xanshar" does not only have spices but It actually isn't the coffe bean but the utter skin of the coffe.

[@alimohamed2491]

the hell is xanshar?
