Immerse yourself in the rich tradition of Turkish coffee making and the mystical practice of fortune telling in this hands-on workshop in Istanbul. This unique experience offers a blend of cultural learning and interactive fun, providing a memorable way to delve into Turkish heritage.
Turkish coffee is a method of preparing unfiltered coffee that has a long history dating back to the Ottoman Empire. It is known for its strong flavor and the unique method of brewing, which involves finely ground coffee beans, cold water, and sugar combined in a special pot called a cezve. The mixture is heated slowly and brought to a frothy boil. The coffee is then served in small cups where the grounds settle to the bottom. This coffee culture is deeply embedded in Turkish traditions and social rituals, often accompanied by the practice of fortune telling using the coffee grounds left in the cup.
The workshop is available year-round and is perfect for any time of the year.
