ÇAYKUR Filiz Black Tea, First Harvest Golden Tips, Loose Leaf Premium Tea, Best Flavor 500g / 17.6 Oz

Watching a long Turkish drama series (165 episodes!) I got to see a custom practiced very often in that series: whenever somebody visits somebody, whether acquaintances, friends or family, they're offered tea! Being a tea drinker myself, I was curious to know what kind of tea is served in Turkey. Luckily, Amazon has quite a few selections to choose from. I've decided to start with this Caykur brand of black tea, which is described as grown in the Black Sea region, without pesticides. I didn't realize the bag had quite a bit of tea in it! At the rate of 1 full teaspoon of tea for each cup of water, I'll be drinking this tea for a long time! Which is fine by me, because I've found the taste to be excellent, with a little sweetness to it, and a mild pleasant fragrance. It also has a nice clear reddish brown color, which looks really enticing when served in the traditional little clear glass cups (that will be my next purchase!). As a bonus, it is equally delicious as hot tea or cold iced tea. Some people may have a problem with the tea being ground, if they had expected tea leaves. This is not a problem for me because I have a really good strainer. I feel that this purchase was a great value for my money.

very tasty, love it

Great Turkish tea. I love the video on their webpage, that describes the process. I find all Turkish product being from very serious dedicated professionals. No cheating, no old products.

Super good 👍

Good product 👌

quality tea I highly recommend it!

Second time I purchased.. good flavor and I do take time to fill the tea bags I bought and I do loved to add 3tps of tea and 1 to if sugar. Then put them on ziplock to carry on my purse or have ready to use when I travel. Always had few just without sugar, for any guess.

real Turkish tea(cay). fast delivery.

チャイダンルック(トルコ紅茶用の2段重ねのポット)を入手したため、チャイ(トルコ紅茶)も!!、ということで購入しました。 1) 配達が早い: 国内発送! 2) 量が多い: 日本の一般的な紅茶の販売パックよりもでかい!! 3) 味は素朴: 変な香料が入っていない!!! 期待以上です。 今度、トルコ大使館にお奨めレシピを教えてもらいます。

Muy sabroso! Se hace en cafetera!

Lovely cay will be ordering again when I have drunk up

Esta buenísimo, pero me llego roto con un agujero

A very flavourful black tea largely grown and picked by women in Turkey enabling them to support themselves and their families. Although this tea is handled by large companies it allows the women tea growers to continue at this time. This sustains the livelihood of women while offering an environmentally beneficial tea of quality.
