The Most Irrefutable Offer in Turkey:
A Glass of Tea
In Turkey, thousands of glasses of tea are drunk every day, but
tea is preferred mostly as black, sweet and served in small tulip
glasses. Turkish tea is not just a kind of drink; it’s a tradition
that revolves around hospitality. Wherever you go in Turkey,
it’s traditional to be offered a glass of Turkish tea as a sign
of welcome when you’re at someone’s home or in a shop.
Surprisingly, compared to tea’s history of thousands years,
Turkish tea is relatively young. Some sources mention that tea
was traded and consumed in 400 B.C., but it is certain that tea
only became common in Turkey from the 1900s onwards. The
first attempt to grow tea on Turkish soil took place in Bursa
between 1888 and 1892. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a success
since this part of the country is ecologically inadequate for
growing tea. In 1924, a law about tea growing was passed by
the government in the east of the Black Sea region. Today, 767
million m² of land is used to grow tea, and it is the second most
consumed Turkish drink after water.
