We begin our cultural journey with a serene and soul-refreshing Turkish tea ceremony hosted in a hidden historic mansion in the heart of Istanbul’s charming Çukurcuma/Cihangir district.
Led by a professional Turkish tea master, you’ll learn the rich stories, rituals, and etiquette of Turkish tea culture while enjoying a tasting of 3–5 regional teas including smoky Black Sea brews and floral Anatolian infusions.
The tea will be paired with traditional Turkish sweets and light bites, served in an elegant setting that reflects Ottoman-European architecture.
You’ll leave not only nourished, but also connected—to centuries of tradition and to your fellow travelers.
