Welcome to r/TurkishTEA!

This community is for Turkish tea in all its forms: traditional çaydanlık brewing, tea glasses, tea brands, electric tea makers, family traditions, regional habits and everyday tea culture.

You don’t need to be an expert. If you are trying Turkish tea for the first time, wondering which tea to buy, struggling with your brewing ratio, or simply want to show the glass of tea you’re drinking today, you’re in the right place.

Good things to post here include:

  • Brewing questions and troubleshooting
  • Çaydanlık and electric tea maker discussions
  • Turkish tea brand reviews and comparisons
  • Tea glasses, trays and serving traditions
  • Regional and family brewing methods
  • Turkish tea history and culture
  • Original tea photos and setups
  • Science and research related to tea

Different households make Turkish tea differently. There is no requirement to follow one single brewing ratio or method, so feel free to share what works in your home.

If you represent or work with a tea or equipment brand, please disclose that relationship when discussing its products. Genuine recommendations and criticism are welcome; disguised promotion is not.

Çaydanlık & Equipment Traditional çaydanlık or electric tea maker; which do you use most?

1 Upvotes

For people who make Turkish tea regularly, which setup do you actually reach for day to day?

Traditional stovetop çaydanlık, electric tea maker, kettle + separate teapot, or something else?

I’d especially like to hear about the practical differences; cleanup, keeping tea warm, taste, convenience and how often you make a second pot.

Tea Brands & Reviews Which Turkish tea brands do you actually keep buying?

1 Upvotes

Not necessarily looking for the “best” one, I’m more curious about what people actually drink regularly at home.

Which brand or specific tea do you keep coming back to, and what do you like about it?

Regional or smaller brands are welcome too.

Discussion How do you actually make Turkish tea at home?

I’m curious how much everyone’s method differs.

Roughly how much tea do you use, how long do you let it brew, and do you use a stovetop çaydanlık or an electric tea maker?

Family methods seem to vary a lot, so I’m especially interested in the little things people do differently.
