Turkish tea, a significant part of Turkish culture, is known for its unique preparation and presentation style. It is typically prepared using a special two-tiered teapot, called “çaydanlık”, designed for brewing strong black tea.
The tea is often steeped quite strong and served in small, tulip-shaped glasses which enhance the tea’s aroma and flavor. These glasses are iconic for their shape and are often placed on small, decorative saucers.
The color of Turkish tea is a deep red, almost burgundy, indicating its strength and richness. It’s common to serve the tea with a couple of sugar cubes on the side, allowing drinkers to sweeten their tea to their preference, and a small, decorative teaspoon is often included for stirring.
