Step into a unique cultural experience in Istanbul’s historic Galata district, where coffee is not just consumed but crafted by hand. In this immersive workshop, you’ll select your own coffee beans, grind them using a traditional hand mill, and slowly brew your coffee over hot sand. You’ll also try alternative blends like menengiç coffee, a caffeine-free, nutty-smooth delight. The ritual ends with a cup reading session—a fun introduction to the tradition of Turkish fortune telling. Recognized by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage, this ceremony offers meaning, memory, and community.
