Why this is better
2 issues fixed: The claim that Georgian coffee tradition involves brewing in a pot called a 'jebena' is a cultural misattribution. The jebena is an Ethiopian and Eritrean coffee pot used in the Ethiopian/Eritrean coffee ceremony; it has no connection to Georgian coffee tradition. Georgian/Turkish-style coffee is traditionally brewed in a cezve (also called 'turka'), which the article itself mentions elsewhere as a separate, correct term. | The References section cites three academic-style sources (Smith 2022 'Journal of Culinary Anthropology', Jones 2023 'Urban Studies Review', Peterson 2021 'International Journal of Coffee Research') that do not correspond to any findable real publications; unverified citation pattern.
