I’m a lifelong tea-drinker of all types, but my frequent comfort cup is black tea with milk—usually Barry’s red box, or Indian loose. I’ve never gone that far down in the submersible of deep tea exploration, but one of my favorite new-to-me discoveries has been Turkish tea. If I’m near a Middle-Eastern grocery I stock up but I also buy it online at Tulumba.com. I find the prices really reasonable, especially the loose teas.
I’ve tried a few (including an Earl Grey/Bergamot scented type—very nice) and they’ve all been good, but my favorite is Caykur brand, Organik Rize Cayi. Lovely red color and mellow taste and never gets bitter even in a super strong, long-steeped base for ice tea.
Any one else explored Turkish tea? Would love to hear about other types and brands.
