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 might not sound ideal in Turkish etiquette, it has become quite popular recently. People also 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 using the sandblasting method on its tray, cup, and water glass.

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 through 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 made on porcelain surfaces. Wonderful visuals are obtained by painting the motifs with different colors such as silver, copper, and especially gold. It is also possible to engrave company logos on porcelain and glass surfaces using sandblasting. This application provides an advantage to companies in their corporate promotions.

The importance of serving water alongside coffee is well known. Since coffee facilitates digestion and is enjoyable after meals, water is drunk before coffee to cleanse the palate. This allows the taste of the coffee to be better appreciated. While we're at it, let's also mention an old Ottoman custom: When a guest arrived at a house; if the guest was hungry, they would take water, and if they were full, they would take coffee. If they took water, the host would understand this in a very subtle manner, 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 complete protection in sponge, preventing them from touching each other. The box lid features a Seljuk motif printed with gold foil. This motif is the same as on the products in the set and displays a beautiful harmony. Company logos can also be applied to the empty parts of the lid. This alternative provides a good opportunity for many companies to carry out their corporate promotions. For companies seeking corporate gifts, event gifts, or corporate promotions, the Ali Baba Coffee Set is an excellent option.

Where does the term 'Kahvaltı' (Breakfast) come from?

Similar to the English tea time tradition, a time concept has emerged for drinking Turkish coffee. It is usually consumed between morning and noon meals. The Turkish word 'kahvaltı', meaning the first meal of the day, literally means things eaten 'before coffee' (kahve altı). In our daily lives, Turkish coffee; accompanies friendly conversations, relieves fatigue during less busy hours, is indispensable for marriage proposal ceremonies, and is not well-regarded without foam. A traditional coffee cup set placed in a beautiful gift box is always one of the nicest traditional gift options.

Turkish coffee was recognized as a 'heritage of humanity' 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 helps preserve the flavor and aroma of the coffee. The shape and size of Turkish coffee cups are also important. Traditionally, the cups are small and have rounded bottoms. The foam on top of the cup concentrates at the rim, allowing you to better experience 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 European countries.

Not all coffee tastes the same...

Not all 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 by the sea, the coffee you drink while your dearest friend cries has a sorrowful taste. The pain in 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... Coffee you drink alone on the balcony at night is loneliness. Its taste is bitter. But it also has a strange pleasure, a flavor... The coffee you make for your father is full of love. In a tea glass, with little sugar. It doesn't seem like coffee to you. But it's hot. Smoke rises, and its scent is magical... The coffee offered to you unexpectedly is different. It warms one's soul... The coffee you drink when you're tired lightens you. It revives you, makes you forget the day's burden... Perhaps it's the same coffee. The same coffee with its foam, color, and steam. But the coffees drunk pass through the filter of your soul, and their tastes change. That's why not all coffee is the same... A coffee brewed with love... Evening, pre-noon, post-noon, or night coffee... Whenever you want...
