A visit to a burnery and Greek coffee tasting in Aegina

A visit to a Greek coffee factory and tasting session in Aegina offers an authentic immersion in the world of Greek coffee, at the heart of a craft that is still very much alive.

Throughout the visit, participants discover a local, human-scale production site, where roasting is carried out with precision and passion. Every step of the process is carefully considered, from bean selection to the final result in the cup.

Discover coffee, from seed to cup

First, a tour of the roasting plant takes visitors behind the scenes of the roasting process. Accompanied by a master roaster, visitors learn how heat transforms green beans into coffee with complex aromas. Explanations also cover the differences in roasting processes, the influence of time and temperature, and the importance of the artisanal gesture.

Gradually, understanding is refined. Indeed, this pedagogical approach makes the process accessible, even without prior knowledge. As a result, everyone can better appreciate the aromatic subtleties of Greek coffee.

Tasting in a traditional kafeneio

After a visit to the burnery, the experience naturally continues with a Greek coffee tasting in a traditional kafeneio. This break not only allows you to taste freshly roasted coffee, but also to soak up the local atmosphere.

In this way, tasting becomes a moment of sharing and observation of the Greek way of life. The coffee is served slowly, according to tradition, allowing time for conversation, questions and the full enjoyment of the aromas. What’s more, this authentic setting reinforces the link between product, place and culture.
