Bergama, apple tea

CAJ ( chay)

Well my personal favorite is ELMA CAJ, apple tea :)
It is served in special glasses like on the pic.
You can drink cold with ice or hot elma tea, it tastes great anyway :))
I even bought tea and glasses to take with me.

Silk bug and creating silk, then coloring silk with natural plant colors. Hand made caprets by those hard working girls and final product at the end :) They make it from wool, cottong and silk. The most expensive ones are made of silk naturaly. But they say they make them to last for generations and generations.

Cool, but expensive... some silk carpets cost arround 20 000 euros. It took 4 years to make it. Anyway it is free to watch LOL

Please check all 5 pics to see the whole proces!
