Why we picked it

It comes from Rize, the Black Sea coast region known for tea in Turkey, and has an intense, full-bodied taste, just right for a strong black tea drunk Turkish-style.

About the product

Black tea grown in the Rize region, on the Turkish coast of the Black Sea, the best-known tea-growing area in Turkey. It has an intense, full-bodied, slightly astringent taste and is well suited to traditional Turkish preparation, strong and aromatic.

Taste and aroma

Tasting notes

Intense and full-bodied, slightly astringent, with a dark-coloured infusion.

How to use it

  • Prepare it the Turkish way, in a double teapot (çaydanlık): brew a strong concentrate on top and dilute it with hot water in the glass, depending on how strong you like it.
  • For a simple cup, use near-boiling water and leave it to infuse for a few minutes.
  • It is usually drunk plain, in small tulip-shaped glasses, perhaps with a little sugar.
  • It goes well in the morning and after a meal, as a strong, aromatic black tea.

Storage

Keep the tea in an opaque tin or jar, in a cool, dry place; the leaves easily absorb smells, so keep it away from spices, coffee and other strong aromas.

Keep away from light and strong smells, in an airtight container.
