Asian coffee is not just a drink; It is an experience that encapsulates the rich history and vibrant culture of Cartagena. This emblematic coffee is a harmonious mix of flavors that has conquered palates over the years and has become a gastronomic symbol of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Origins of Asian Coffee<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The history of Asian coffee is as rich as its flavor. There are two main theories about its origin. The first suggests that it was born in the bars of the port of Cartagena at the beginning of the 20th century, where sailors from the East Indies ordered a coffee fortified with condensed milk and brandy to combat the cold. The second theory takes us to El Albuj\u00f3n, a county council from Cartagena, where in 1947, Pedro Conesa 'Pedr\u00edn' would have created this drink by accident when trying to improve the bitter taste of poorly filtered coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients and Preparation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asian coffee is prepared with a base of condensed milk, to which is added a good coffee, cognac and, in some modern versions, a touch of Licor 43. It is served hot, with coffee beans, lemon peel and a pinch of cinnamon to decorate3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
