🌍

文化的背景

Latvians often drink 'balta kafija' with a side of 'biezpienmaize' (curd cake). It's a classic afternoon snack. In rural areas, 'balta kafija' might be made with unpasteurized 'lauku piens' (country milk), making it much richer. The 'kafijas pauze' is a key part of Latvian business culture, where 'balta kafija' is always served. During the winter solstice (Ziemassvētki), coffee is often spiced with cinnamon, but still called 'balta kafija' if milk is added.
