This exquisite-tasting black tea from the Black Sea region is iconic for the Middle Eastern region. Tea drinking and appreciation started during the 5th century through the Silk Road trade. Since the start of tea cultivation in Turkey from the early 1900s to the present day, Turkey now has one of the world's highest tea consumption populations per capita. Traditionally, Turkish tea is made with two teapots specifically crafted to be stacked on top of each other called ‘çaydanlık’, similar to the Russian samovar.
Turkish black teas are very aromatic and earthy… with intense bold strength.
