What could be more Turkish than coffee?Tea, actually.
When the Ottoman Empire collapsed in 1923, the Turks lost Mocha and suddenly coffee was an expensive import. Bereft of the traditional high-octane stimulant, Turks turned to tea (çay).
What beer is to a Bavarian, tea is to a Turk. Çay (CHAY) oils the wheels of commerce, government and society. It is served everywhere, anytime, in tiny gold-rimmed, tulip-shaped glasses accompanied by two or three huge lumps of beetroot sugar.
A Turk's first question is Nasilsiniz? (How are you?) The second inevitably is "Some tea?"
Turkish coffee is more famous, but Turkish tea (çay, CHAH-yee) is the national drink, brewed from leaves grown on the steep, verdant mountain slopes of Turkey's eastern Black Sea coast.
Traditionally, Turkish tea is brewed samovar-style, with a small pot of very strong tea kept hot atop a larger vessel of boiling water. Pour a small amount of strong tea into a little tulip-shaped glass and cut it to the desired strength with hot water.(Tom Brosnahan-Sunday Telegraph (London))
