Why is the Ali Baba Coffee Set the right gift choice for corporate companies?

The Ali Baba Coffee Set is a single-person coffee set. Although a ‘single-person’ coffee set may not sound pleasant in Turkish etiquette, it is a set that has been quite popular recently. People need to enjoy themselves and pamper themselves on their own. The Ali Baba Coffee Set is a very pleasant set that provides exactly this. Seljuk patterns have been applied to both its tray, cup, and water glass using the sandblasting method.

The most important decoration method we have been working on for coffee cups and saucers recently is the ‘sandblasting’ technique. This application is done entirely by hand. With this technique, porcelain and glass surfaces are eroded with sand. Desired motifs are obtained on the surface with this erosion. A 2-dimensional depth is created on the sandblasted surfaces. This application has a much more ‘classy’ appearance than traditional flat (non-dimensional) pattern applications on porcelain surfaces. Wonderful images are obtained by painting the motifs with different colors such as silver and copper, especially gold. It is also possible to engrave company logos on porcelain and glass surfaces with sandblasting. This application provides an advantage to companies in their corporate promotions.

The importance of serving water alongside coffee is well known to everyone. Since coffee facilitates digestion and provides pleasure after a meal, water is drunk before coffee to cleanse the mouth. Thus, the taste of coffee can be better appreciated. While we're at it, let's also mention an old Ottoman custom: When a guest came to the house; if the guest was hungry, they would take water, and if full, they would take coffee. If they took the water, the host would understand this with a very subtle demeanor, immediately set the table, and feed the guest. The host would serve their guest with the most special porcelain coffee cup.

The Ali Baba Coffee Set comes in a handmade cardboard gift box. The products are presented with full protection, without touching each other inside a sponge. On the box lid, there is a Seljuk motif printed with gold leaf. This motif is the same as the products in the set and exhibits a beautiful harmony. Company logo application can also be done on the blank parts of the lid. This alternative provides a good opportunity for many companies to do their corporate promotions. For companies seeking corporate gifts, event gifts, or corporate promotion, the Ali Baba Coffee Set is a very good option.

Where does the term 'breakfast' come from?
Similar to the tea time tradition in England, a concept of time has also emerged regarding the drinking of Turkish coffee. It is generally consumed between morning and noon meals. The Turkish word ‘kahvaltı’, meaning the first meal of the day, refers to things eaten before coffee consumption (kahve altı - literally 'under coffee'). In our daily lives, Turkish coffee; accompanies friendly conversations, relieves fatigue during less busy hours, is indispensable for marriage proposal ceremonies, and is not welcomed without foam. A traditional coffee cup set placed in a beautiful gift box is always one of the most beautiful traditional gift options.

Turkish coffee was accepted as a ‘humanity's heritage’ by UNESCO. In a meeting held in 2013, Turkish coffee was deemed worthy of this title due to its cultural importance and special preparation method. Coffee grinders are needed to reduce the contact of ground coffee beans with oxygen. This ensures that the taste and aroma of the coffees are preserved. The shape and size of Turkish coffee cups are also important. Traditionally, the cups are small and their bottoms are rounded. The foam on top of the cup concentrates at the rim of the cup, allowing you to better feel the taste of the coffee. Turkish coffee was exported to Europe by the Ottoman Empire before it became popular in Western Europe. It was first served in coffee houses in Istanbul in the 16th century and later spread to different countries in Europe.

Not every coffee tastes the same...
Not every coffee tastes the same. Its taste changes depending on where you drink it and with whom you drink it... On a windy autumn day sitting on the beach, the coffee you drink while your dearest friend cries has a sorrowful taste. The pain of your heart mixes with the coffee grounds... On a Sunday afternoon, the coffee your mother says "come on, let's make some coffee and drink it" is peaceful. The foam reflects in your mother's pupils. It's a small smile lingering at the corner of her lips... Coffee drunk with friends is joy. Laughter floats on the foam... The coffee you drink alone on the balcony at night is loneliness. Its taste is bitter. But it also has a strange pleasure, a delight... The coffee you make for your father is full of love. In a tea glass, with little sugar. It doesn't look like coffee to you. But it's warm. Smoke rises from it and its scent is magical... The coffee offered to you unexpectedly is different. It warms one's inside... When you're tired, the coffee you drink lightens you. It brings you back to yourself, making you forget the day's burden... The coffee might be the same coffee. With its foam, its color, its smoke, it's the same coffee. But the coffees drunk pass through the filter of your soul and their tastes change. That's why not every coffee is the same... A coffee brewed with love... Evening, pre-noon, post-noon, or night coffee... Whenever you wish...
