Technical Requirements for Jebena Joy Cafe

Our coffee ceremony is a mobile setup, allowing us to bring the experience to any location. To ensure a smooth and authentic service, we require the following:
• Space Requirements: A minimum of 6x6 feet for our setup, including the coffee station and seating area (if applicable).
• Ventilation: If indoors, proper ventilation is needed due to the roasting process, which produces aromatic smoke.
• Table or Surface: A sturdy table or space to set up our traditional coffee ceremony equipment. We can provide a table upon request.
• Power Source (Optional): If additional lighting or a heating element is needed, access to a standard electrical outlet is appreciated but not always required.
• Seating (Optional): For a fully immersive experience, we recommend a few chairs or cushions for guests to gather around the ceremony.

Our setup is adaptable for both indoor and outdoor events. If you have any specific venue requirements, we’re happy to coordinate and customize the experience to fit your event needs.
