Sounds like an awesome experience sir. Thanks for sharing with the neophytes!

Thanks for kind comments on one of my typically long and esoteric coffee posts. I honor you for wading thru it. This must be the same group that read "War & Peace" at the beach last summer. Na zdrovyeh!

No, no, it wasn't that long, well, I guess it was the less than 10 pictures that made it seem short.

You put the knowledge to the story I got from my in-laws. I will find out if they took pics of the ceremony and lend a hand to lengthening this thread into a band width nightmare.

Hi! Long time no drinky coffee! Those ladies may not realize it but they took the time to do something really great for the one person I know who would appreciate it the most.
Glad you had the experience.

Hi Mrs. Fungirl! It was more surprise than ceremony. The photo gives you a pretty good idea about the long slow pour, incense, straw matting and traditional costume. I missed a few of the trappings but certainly appreciated learning about a whole new coffee thingie. Next time I'll call a day in advance for the full blown deal.

Regards to Mr. Fungirl. Or however that works.
