Speedo1968 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I live near a small town in Khon Kaen province. I am lucky enough to have friends who are coffee roasters who have won many awards. Their main business is roasting and supplying coffee. As a side line they have a coffee house, with a few customers, mostly regulars, some traveling 50km from Khon Kaen. The coffees are from world wide and in the coffee house they can serve the coffee prepared in different ways. I am very lucky in that I get my coffee free in return for comments. This week I was offered a new blend which I suggested was from Ethiopia and probably cold brewed, I was correct in that it was not a blend and was informed that the cold brew process took 10 hours. My question relates to the word for a certain taste in Thai language. I said that the coffee was tart ( this can be a wrong taste for coffee but it was prepared correctly and tasted excellent ) They didn't understand when I said it tasted "tart" and said "sour - periyw" but that means sour. They used the words for tangy "xamplil" and bitter "khm". I have heard "thart" before. Could anyone tell me if there is a Thai word for tart ? Tart in a nice flavour way.

ThailandRyan Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Bpiere or Beer means sour or can be used to say tart as they are similar with tart being a lesser version of sour....just my view of course but the word I started this post with is what we use in my house in Thailand when we speak of tart or sour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackGats Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 It is very rude to say a girl is a tart even if she is one. You treat her like a lady and give her the money you promised. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1FinickyOne Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I have never heard 'tart' in reference to coffee but I am surely not the expert that you are... to translate, I would say - bplieo noy - - the noy helps soften the sour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Myanmar GF and the housekeeper use the word I listed. Of course I transliterated it into English script instead of the Karen language since my keyboard only has Thai and English....lol Edited January 15, 2022 by ThailandRyan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used the words for tangy "xamplil" and bitter "khm"... Now that the the original question has been satisfactorily answered and I need not fear that I might derail the topic, I'd like to mention, as a side note, that this is the first time that I have seen the ISO 11940-2 standard, respectively a variation of it without superscripts, used as a pronunciation guide, for which this system was never intended, and I should like to compliment the people who posted replies despite this generally unintelligible transcription/transliteration. For anyone interested in this ISO standard, there was a discussion of it in this topic in August 2020: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
