Coffee enthusiasts in Dubai are in for an exciting and inspiring weekend, as Gahwatna, the unique Emirati coffee concept boutique, prepares to collaborate with the French Cultural Center “Alliance Française Dubai” to host an immersive workshop that redefines the coffee experience.
The workshop, scheduled for Sunday, October 27 at the French Cultural Center in Dubai, will take participants on a cultural journey that seamlessly blends tradition with modern innovation. With its authentic blends crafted from globally sourced Arabica beans and carefully grown local ingredients, Gahwatna offers a distinguished selection that caters to the modern era while preserving the traditional flavors of coffee.
The workshop will last 45 minutes (from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM) and will offer participants the opportunity to delve into the rich heritage of coffee. They will learn everything about harvesting and roasting methods, in addition to the art of brewing and serving coffee. Participants will also discover the cultural significance of Emirati coffee, including traditional cups (finyals), and will have the chance to participate in a challenge with coffee-related prizes.
Gahwatna is committed to fostering community interaction, transforming coffee from a simple beverage into a profound cultural experience. The organizers state: “Gahwatna is not just a place to grab a quick coffee; it is a comprehensive experience that honors the ancient traditions of Emirati coffee while modernizing them. As part of its mission to engage the community, Gahwatna organizes workshops and initiatives that invite individuals to explore the culture of coffee. Each workshop not only educates but also immerses participants in the deeper meanings of coffee, highlighting its role in both local and global contexts.”
