Turkish tea in semaver
“Turkish tea in semaver”
- The “semaver” is really common when you want to drink tea outside.
You just have to put some wood, which is going to burn and heat the water inside.
You can see this everywhere in Turkey and mostly in Istanbul, when people use it on the sea side when they want to chill at night. Or people who lives or going to chill on the mountains also use it.
“Tea is big in Turkey.
A great deal of the population admires this drink. When asked to describe a hot summer day, a cold winter day, a visit to family or friends, a quick way to relax and especially a full breakfast, tea will be part of it.
Traditional Turkish tea is black, and it’s consumed massively.
Turks do sometimes fancy a herbal tea, such as rose hip (kuşburnu çayı), linden flower (ıhlamur çayı) among other flavors. But those are mostly consumed for their health characteristics and to color up the taste buds.”
