Vefa Boza

Haci Sadik Bey came to Istanbul from Prizren, Albania, in 1870. In those years, he saw that the boza was made and sold by up to 200 artisans from the people of the city, in a juicy, brown, and sour flavor. At that time, he tried a different method, and the very slightly sour taste at the moment when new fermentation bubbles with a dark consistency and light-yellow color were formed, became the first signature of this brand.

He promotes his boza, which he produces with his own means under his house, by walking around the palace and its surroundings with copper cans on his shoulders during winter nights for six years. Haci Sadık Bey, who is eagerly awaited around every corner, is encouraged by the increasing demand. It opened the first official business of boza products in the world in September 1876 in Vefa, one of the most prestigious districts of Istanbul, where the courtiers, aristocratic families, and bureaucrats of the time lived.

The name of the first store opened in the Vefa district is determined as Vefa Bozacısı, and this ancestor drink is both standardized and a profession, ensuring its continuity for generations. Haci Sadik Bey personally produces this special Turkish beverage, which attracts a lot of attention, for years to preserve its consistency and taste. In the following years, they continue the production of Vefa Bozacısı together with their son İsmail Hakkı Vefa. Boza production, which started with Hacı Sadık Bey and continues with 4th generation family members today, continues by preserving Turkish standards and traditional taste.
