Turkish tea is an important phenomenon in the social and cultural fabric of Türkiye. The beverage is a unique reflection of Turkish culture, with its unique rituals of brewing and drinking, as well as being an indispensable part of conversations, business meetings and even political gatherings. The unique cup design called the "thin-waist cup" and the social rules and customs on how to drink tea, called "tea laws", are part of this unique culture.

THE ART OF BREWING HOW TO PREPARE TURKISH STYLE TEA?

Turkish tea is usually prepared using a two-tiered teapot. Tea is placed in the upper teapot and water is placed in the large reservoir at the bottom. After the water boils, it is added to the teapot and the tea is left to steep. The brewed tea is diluted with water to suit the user's taste.
