Tea is the most popular hot drink in Turkey. In Turkey, drinking coffee also has a long history, but tea is more common and often you’ll see people in shops, parks etc. drinking tea.
So-called Turkish tea is basically a strong black tea (without milk, may be with sugar) that is served in little tulip-shaped glasses (like in today’s photo).
I love drinking tea, however mostly green tea. But at the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul I tried apple tea, and that was really delicious. So now, when I think about Turkey and tea, I have in my mind that delicious taste of apple tea! I have to say, I bought some apple tea in Turkey and took it back home, but it didn’t taste the same…

Herbata jest najpopularniejszym gorącym napojem w Turcji. Choć tradycja picia kawy w Turcji jest długa, i każdy chyba słyszał o kawie po turecku, to jednak herbata jest na pierwszym miejscu, i często w sklepach czy na ulicy można zobaczyć smakoszy tego trunku. 🙂
Typowa herbata w Turcji, to mocna czarna herbata, bez mleka, ale może być słodzona, i obowiązkowa musi być podana w malutkiej szklaneczce jak widoczna na dzisiejszym zdjęciu.
Osobiście, uwielbiam herbatę, ale przede wszystkim zieloną. Mam też swoje herbaciane wspomnienia z Wielkiego Bazaru w Stambule. Rozsmakowałam się tam w herbacie jabłkowej i nawet kupiłam paczkę i przywiozłam do domu. Jednak ta przyrządzona w domu nie smakowała już tak wyśmienicie… Mimo wszystko, ta jabłkowa herbata z Wielkiego Bazaru, jest moim pierwszym skojarzeniem, gdy słyszę słowa “Turcja” i “herbata”. 🙂
prosit!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
Ah, a nice cup of tea, lovely.
Thank you! 🙂
Na pewno doskonale gasi pragnienie 🙂
takie pyszne wspomnienie 🙂
Oh I had this apple tea in the boat while going to Büyükada for a half-day trip from Istanbul. I have the exact same experience. Lovely glasses and when I think of Turkey I always bring this nice taste on my mouth like I drink it now 😀
I’m happy to heat it! 🙂
Nie piłam nigdy herbaty w taki sposób 🙂
takie ciekawe doświadczenie 🙂
Zawsze mnie rozbrajały te ich szklaneczki 🙂
😀
Merci pour les explications… et les saveurs sont toujours meilleures sur place 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
To pewnie też jest kwestia wody. Ja herbaty uwielbiam , ale ze Stambułu utkwił mi w pamięci pan, który sprzedawał zioła o działaniu takim jak viagra;)
😀
I thought they added a bit of mint as well – or that may be an entirely separate tea. Turkish coffee’s my favourite (though coming from a Greek Cypriot family we were banned from calling it Turkish coffee – only “greek coffee” ha ha ha)
about mint, I think it’s more typical in other nearby countries, e.g., Morocco.
I am also a fan of greentea but that apple tea might be worth the try.
that’s also very nice! 🙂
I love turkish coffee and tea!
🙂
Apple tea sounds fantastic! I would love to try it, especially in Turkey–the scenery would be pretty nice, too! 🙂
Absolutely true! 🙂
I loved apple tea in Turkey! I love tea in general and I’m lucky to have been introduced to some unique teas on my travels.
tea is great, isn’t it! 🙂
Very cool! I’m not a huge drinker of tea, though I would definitely order a cup if it was about the cultural experience, which in Turkey it seems to be 🙂
Exactly, trying new things is also a great experience! 🙂
I love tea! I drink all sorts of teas but my favourite is fresh Nana mint…i do like Turkish tea but find it a bit too sweet so I try to tone it down a bit 🙂
🙂
That is so true, what you said about trying new food (or drinks) in other countries. You try to make them at home, but they never taste the same.
unfortunately, it’s like that very often…
Turkish tea is definitely stronger than I usually drink it, but we had more than our share of it while we were there. It’s such a great part of the culture.
That’s true! 🙂
For tea I was adding some sugar to make it better, because it was also often too strong to me 🙂
penso che difficilmente ciò che si beve localmente ha lo stesso sapore a casa nostra, dovremo prelevare anche una parte dell’atmosfera di cui si è fruito il loco
Thank you so much! 🙂
Tea is my favorite drink. I am in love with spicy chai.
it’s delicious 🙂
Japanese like Tea,too 😀
Japanese tea is also delicious! 🙂
I’ve never tried apple tea, but I hope to after your rave review! I also have to get myself one of those glasses, adorable.
I hope you’ll enjoy it 🙂
