Komiteti Cafe and Museum in Tirana, Albania, was started by Arber Cepani and features relics from Albania's past. The cafe also has 25 types of custom raki, made by Cepani. Pictured here is a rosemary raki. Cepani, the son of an Albanian diplomat who spent about 20 years living abroad, says he believes it is important to know the history of your country and learn from it. For the younger generation, the cafe is a place to learn about the communist past. For the older generation Cepani says it is pure nostalgia. The cafe itself is inside of one of the first buildings built during the communist era. It was an apartment building for military generals.
