Reviews
Kübra was a really lovely facilitator and conducted the workshop so well! She was very thorough in the storytelling and make the workshop very interactive. We enjoyed it a lot and had a great time.
It is super interesting and well planned workshop. The instructor will share a lot of Turkish coffee history and you will make yr own coffee.
I joined the tour during the free time. The conversation was in English, but I was able to enjoy it with the help of mobile translation and a general understanding! At the end, I was satisfied to receive coffee brewing equipment? and coffee cups as a gift! The transportation from the meeting place was by subway, but the guide taught me about the money and how to ride, so there were no problems! Everyone was kind and it was a fun time.
I definitely recommend it! It was so much fun! They explain everything very thoroughly! You can also learn about the history of Turkish coffee! In addition to the Turkish coffee you make yourself, you can also enjoy Turkish coffee made with different beans and Turkish tea! Finally, you get to keep the saucer! It's totally awesome! ♪
Brilliant workshop, informative and fun!
