Caykur Rize Turkish Black Tea from Turkey (500g)

Having been on holiday to Antalya I was missing good Turkish tea. Found this loose tea with a brewing teapot and special shaped glass cups on Amazon. This tea is even better quality and taste compared to what I had in Turkey. The price is cheap and this big bag should last me a good six months to a year. Drinking Turkish tea every day has now become a new relaxing hobby thanks to this tea. Highly recommend it and will buy it again.

This tasted exactly like the complimentary tea that I love from my favourite Turkish restaurant.I loved it so much that asked the waiter what brand they used and he recommended I tried this one and baby I’m not disappointed!It’s good quality as it’s not the saw dust you get in tea bags. It’s nice leaves 🍃.The pack is very big and even if you’re a big tea drinker like me chugging down 4-5 cups a day this pack will last you ages. Just now months later I’m getting to end end of the pack and about to repurchase another!If you compare the weight of this vs yea bags andCompare the price you’ll be shocked at how much cheaper this is for the quality!My favourite way of enjoying it is with a little brown sugar and it tastes just like the restaurant one!I also enjoy dehydrating orange slice or peels and adding them into the tea and it adds an additional flavour that marries together perfectly.

Lovely tea to have at any time or as tradition in Turkey after a meal.

Very smooth, has an indescribable damp pipe tobacco flavour reminds me of a lot of chinese teas, fresh and grassy as it cools, addictive and easy to drink, slight spice. Would be a good match with tobacco as previously mentioned.Definitely turkish tea, it's what they serve in the middle eastern restaurants I have been to. It can steep for a surprising amount of time, large amount of dust, though.

Never tried Turkish tea in my life, but with the price of teabags in the UK and remembering how much I loved loose tea as a kid and teen when living with my Grandad, I thought I'd give it a try since it's really very cheap compared to even the cheapest/nastiest teabags. I was pleasantly surprised by the flavour. It's not like any other tea I've tasted tbh, although it is unmistakably tea. It has a astringent kick to it that isn't unpleasant, and a nice fresh, strong leafy tea flavour. It also has a very slight spicy aftertaste to it also. I will definitely be buying more of this and other Turkish loose teas. I can see why some are put off by it, as it isn't really like anything you would typically get in UK Supermarkets, which have very few tea options, and I think this has narrowed our palette toward a certain criteria of how tea should taste.

Not a 'normal' tea fan but this is quality and at a great price. Well worth the money

It's not the same taste as in Turkey it's okish.

Good taste of tea
