Turkish tea has lately left the exotic Turkish coffee behind in
importance, in the recent times. Rize produces tea for Turkey.
It is in the eastern section of Turkey on the Black Sea coast.
Turkish tea is known with a unique name called cay. It has
varieties of Herbal tea also with exciting flavors.
Preparation of Turkish Tea:
urkish people use a special
kind of utensil to prepare tea. It is a two stacked kettles
called caydanlik in Turkey. The two sections serve two different
purposes. The lower kettle is used for boiling the tea initially
and then a little water is allowed to enter the upper portion.
This portion is filled with tea leaves. The real trick in
preparing a variety of flavors is then commenced. The water from
the kettle is diluted according to the taste of the customer
from strong as Turkish: koyu or weak as Turkish: acik.
Unique Turkish Tea drinking:
ea is drunk in a special
way in Turkey. Tea has replaced the importance of coffee in
Turkey and restricted the consumption of alcohol too. Serving
tea in small tulip-shaped glasses has become a part of the
Turkish tradition. Tea is preferred very hot, completely
flavored and strong in Turkey. Herbal tea has gifted Turkish tea
with mouth watering flavors such as apple, rose hip, linden
flower and so on. To lend it a magnificent hue beetroot is
sometimes added to it. Boiled tea is first poured into a glass
apparatus and then hot water is added according to the
requirement of the tea drinker, initiating variety in the taste
of tea. However, to make the tea drinking a celebration, the tea
addict is provided with the samovar in tea houses which allows
them to taste tea as much as they want.

Wow! I didn\'t know that Turkish tea was so complex! One always
hears about Japanese tea ceremonies, but never hears about
Turkish tea-making. Thanks! I have been searching Riyadh for the
glasses, but haven\'t been able to find them. I particularly
want blue ones, since my dishes are blue and white. The Turkish
Embassy used to put on an annual bizarre here where one could
purchase Turkish tiles and other handicrafts, as well as indulge
in delicious Turkish food. EVERYONE went! Ha!!
