Celebrate Tradition and Taste with an Authentic Tea Pot Experience

There’s always been something especially comforting about the act of drinking tea, and few cultures celebrate the daily ritual more beautifully than Turkey. At the centre of this social ritual are two things that are absolutely indispensable: the legendary Turkish tea glass and the good old Turkish tea pot.Combined, they are not just serving tea, but providing an experience that epitomizes Turkish hospitality, warmth – a timeless tradition.

The Attraction of the Turkish Tea Glass

It’s an intentionally crafted vessel, and not just something that’s arbitrarily shaped like a tulip. Unlike Western-style mugs or cups it is smaller at the bottom and wider at the top, allowing the aroma and colour of the tea to be better appreciated, as well as a more delicate handling of the glass when drinking. It lets you marvel at the bright amber of an over-steeped serving of Turkish black, served strong and sans milk.

More than just visual appeal, the shape also effectively maintains heat while having enough surface area to cool the top layer enough for sipping. The shape encourages a slower, more thoughtful approach to drinking, so every cup feels intentional.

Brewing in a Turkish Tea Pot

What is a Turkish tea pot? No Turkish tea experience could be complete without mention of the Turkish tea pot or “çaydanlık” as it is called in Turkish. This special designed double pot is comprised of two parts: a larger one on the bottom to boil water and a smaller on the top to brew up a concentrated tea.
The method is basic, but rich in tradition. The dried tea leaves are stored in the upper pot and hot water is poured over them from the lower kettle. This dense liquor is then diverted with hot water to achieve the desired flavour when served. The result is a fragrant, heady tea that can be fine-tuned in its strength for each guest.
