Native to the Antep region, terebinth berries are roasted to make a coffee-like beverage, menengiç kahvesi. Tahmis Kahvesi is one of the oldest coffee houses in Turkey dating back to 1652 and famous for this local drink. ☕️ The copper ware is handmade down the road. #gaziantep #coffeearoundtheworld #coffee #menengiç #tahmiskahvesi #terebinth #turkishcoffee #coffeebeverage #coffeehouse #kahvesi #kahve #antepcuisine #gaziantepcuisine #bakır #bakırfincan #bakırcılarçarşısı #bakırcılar #handmade #craftsmanship #drinksaroundtheworld #visitturkey #emilyinantep #istanbulinspired
