Mr. M. Ergün Turan, the Mayor of Fatih Municipality opened the Coffee Museum in Beta Yeni Han on World Turkish Coffee and Culture Day. Mr. Turan, the Mayor described the project as a step that carries Turkish coffee culture into the future and thanked those who contributed to the project.

Within the scope of World Turkish Coffee and Culture Day events, Mr. M. Ergün Turan, the Mayor of Fatih Municipality opened the Coffee Museum, which was launched in the historical Beta Yeni Han, one of the first places where coffee was processed and roasted in the Ottoman period. Mr. Turan, the Mayor congratulated everyone who contributed to this project, especially Beşir Uğur, Chairman of the Board of Directors of BETA Gıda, for this project, which Mr. Turan described as an important step that will carry Turkish coffee culture into the future.

With over 400 years of history, the opening ceremony of Beta Yeni Coffee Museum, which attracts attention with its historical coffee roaster discovered during the restoration of Beta Yeni Han and which bears the title of Istanbul's first coffee museum, was held with an intense participation. The Han (inn) invites visitors on a pleasant journey into the past with its historical atmosphere and the smell of coffee.

The museum is set to welcome those who want to discover the rich history, culture and flavour of Turkish coffee from the Ottoman Empire to the present day. The events organised within the scope of this special day offered a pleasant opportunity for guests who wanted to witness the journey of coffee from the Ottoman Empire to this day.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Mr. Turan, the Mayor emphasised that Beta Yeni Coffee Museum will not only promote coffee culture but also play an important role in the preservation of historical heritage. ‘Turkish coffee is one of the most important elements of our culture. This museum will exhibit this flavour journey from the past to the present in the most beautiful way,’ he said.

Beta Yeni Han, which houses the first coffee roaster known in history, will now be the meeting point for both coffee enthusiasts and culture and history buffs. In addition to the exhibited artefacts, the museum aims to offer a different experience to its visitors with interactive activities.

Within the scope of World Turkish Coffee and Culture Day, this special event, which once again reminded us of the heritage of Turkish coffee, was full of enjoyable moments for history, culture and flavour lovers.
