Additional Information

What makes Turkish coffee special? It is the culture of it. Just like British have their tea sessions, we have our Turkish coffee session.

Although there are a lot to be said about Turkish coffee, we want to keep it for the experience, no spoilers..

We will welcome you at our home to teach your Turkish coffee, from its history and culture to its variety and how it is an everyday thing in our culture. We will teach you how to cook Turkish coffee, just like our mothers cooked for their guests for years.

We will be cooking and tasting at least 3 Turkish Coffee types. Menengiç, Dibek, Mırra, Sütlü Türk kahvesi are some of the Turkish Coffee types.

During the experience, you will also learn about crazy interesting Turkish coffee customes in our history. These stories will make you feel like you are a part of the culture as well, and that will be our biggest goal for the experience.

So, come, join us at our home for a Turkish Coffee session. But come as a guest, leave as a friend!

Good coffee, friendlyness, fun - I got to know Cem privately and immediately sympathised with him. Cem is a kind-hearted person who is cheerful by nature. We could laugh together all the time and he often found the humour in life. I am glad to have met him. The coffee is very tasty and the production process is also interesting.
