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 gorฤ
cym napojem w Turcji. Choฤ tradycja picia kawy w Turcji jest dลuga, i kaลผdy chyba sลyszaล o kawie po turecku, to jednak herbata jest na pierwszym miejscu, i czฤsto w sklepach czy na ulicy moลผna zobaczyฤ smakoszy tego trunku. ๐
Typowa herbata w Turcji, to mocna czarna herbata, bez mleka, ale moลผe byฤ sลodzona, i obowiฤ
zkowa musi byฤ podana w malutkiej szklaneczce jak widoczna na dzisiejszym zdjฤciu.
Osobiลcie, uwielbiam herbatฤ, ale przede wszystkim zielonฤ . Mam teลผ swoje herbaciane wspomnienia z Wielkiego Bazaru w Stambule. Rozsmakowaลam siฤ tam w herbacie jabลkowej i nawet kupiลam paczkฤ i przywiozลam do domu. Jednak ta przyrzฤ dzona w domu nie smakowaลa juลผ tak wyลmienicie… Mimo wszystko, ta jabลkowa herbata z Wielkiego Bazaru, jest moim pierwszym skojarzeniem, gdy sลyszฤ sลowa “Turcja” i “herbata”. ๐
prosit!!! ๐ ๐ ๐
Thank you! ๐
Ah, a nice cup of tea, lovely.
Thank you! ๐
Na pewno doskonale gasi pragnienie ๐
takie pyszne wspomnienie ๐
Oh I had this apple tea in the boat while going to Bรผyรผkada 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 ๐
I’m happy to heat it! ๐
Nie piลam nigdy herbaty w taki sposรณb ๐
takie ciekawe doลwiadczenie ๐
Zawsze mnie rozbrajaลy te ich szklaneczki ๐
๐
Merci pour les explications… et les saveurs sont toujours meilleures sur place ๐
Thank you! ๐
To pewnie teลผ jest kwestia wody. Ja herbaty uwielbiam , ale ze Stambuลu utkwiล mi w pamiฤci pan, ktรณry sprzedawaล zioลa o dziaลaniu 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! ๐
I love turkish coffee and tea!
๐
Apple tea sounds fantastic! I would love to try it, especially in Turkey–the scenery would be pretty nice, too! ๐
Absolutely true! ๐
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! ๐
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 ๐
Exactly, trying new things is also a great experience! ๐
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 ๐
๐
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! ๐
For tea I was adding some sugar to make it better, because it was also often too strong to me ๐
penso che difficilmente ciรฒ che si beve localmente ha lo stesso sapore a casa nostra, dovremo prelevare anche una parte dell’atmosfera di cui si รจ fruito il loco
Thank you so much! ๐
Tea is my favorite drink. I am in love with spicy chai.
it’s delicious ๐
Japanese like Tea,too ๐
Japanese tea is also delicious! ๐
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 ๐
