Turkish Tea, known as "Çay", is a staple of Turkish culture and hospitality. It is traditionally made using high-quality black tea leaves grown in the Rize region of Turkey, which is known for its fertile soil and perfect climate for tea cultivation. Turkish Tea is strong, rich in flavor, and naturally bold, making it an essential part of daily life in Turkey, enjoyed at breakfasts, social gatherings, and after meals.
Unlike other black teas, Turkish Tea is brewed in a unique double teapot system called "çaydanlık", which allows for the preparation of both strong and mild variations to suit personal taste.
