At the Urumqi International Grand Bazaar, coffee comes with a local twist.

It's made by heating a small pot in hot sand, a slow method that brings out a strong, smooth flavor. The taste is rich but not too heavy, with a slight roasted note. Instead of a regular cup, the coffee is served in a piece of naan, a local flatbread. The bread is baked until crisp, then shaped to hold the drink. As the coffee soaks in, it picks up a light wheat flavor.
