“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.”

“A truly unique experience! I went with my friend and we really enjoyed our time with Ozge — she was warm, welcoming, and engaging. The conversation flowed naturally, and the personal connection made it memorable. What we loved most was her style of reading — she didn’t impose anything on us, but rather reflected with us and offered thoughtful hints that sparked our own reflections. Visiting someone’s home gave the experience a special touch, very different from typical tourist activities. We also loved Penny (her sweet dog) and her adorable cat. Highly recommended!”

After a brief discussion we chose to make flour halva and semolina cookies. By hands on, the mixer was our fingers. Both turned out amazing. When they were finished we had Turkish tea or coffee and enjoyed more conversation. Take this class, it was a fantastic experience.”
