I learned a lot about how you actually make perfume. Our teacher was so knowledgeable about which scents work together. I have my very own perfume to take home with me!

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Mehmet was a superb, friendly and funny host. His knowledge of coffee and how it ties in with Turkish and ottoman history and culture is extensive, and he makes it accessible and understandable. My girlfriend and I went for her birthday, so I would highly recommend it as a birthday activity if you happen to be in Istanbul for it! The rest of the staff are also very friendly and polite, and will welcome you with open arms. Also there are cats… of course!

Turkish Coffee Making and Fortune Telling Workshop review

Who knew there was so much to learn about coffee? Mehmet was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating stories about its history and culture. I loved learning that mocha comes from the Yemeni city of Mukha, and hearing about the rich history of coffee trading in Turkey. The fortune-telling ritual and the process of making coffee were especially memorable. I don’t even drink coffee—but simply being there made me feel part of Turkish life.
