Turkish tea

Çay

Turkish tea in a tulip glass
Serving suggestion

No Turkish meal ends without çay: strong black tea, served in a small tulip-shaped glass, usually with a cube or two of sugar.

Where it comes from

Turkey grows its own tea on the misty Black Sea coast around Rize, and Turks drink more tea per person than almost anyone. It's brewed in a double teapot called a çaydanlık: strong tea on top, hot water below, so everyone can have it as strong as they like.

How we make it at EFES

Traditional Turkish black tea, served in a tulip glass.
