From Breakfast to Dinner, Tea is Life in Türkiye

The Magic of the Çaydanlık
Every Turkish home has a çaydanlık—a unique double-stacked teapot that crafts the perfect strong brew. Birol, a Chinese-speaking tour guide from Türkiye, explains: "Tea isn’t just a drink—it’s how we connect, share stories, and slow down." Whether hosting guests or relaxing solo, the ritual of pouring tea symbolizes warmth and community.
A Brew That Bridges Cultures
