About Turkish Tea Culture

The tea, which has a 5000 year old tarie, although it entered the life of the Turks late, entered the clean. Besides tea drinking throughout the day, we can not ignore that we add to the culture history of tea with our additives such as our own brewing method, thin glass cups, curing tea. One of these is the requirement that the steaming beef, which is one of the indispensable rules of good tea steaming, is placed on the teapot, and it can not be resolved gracefully.
Despite the Turks knowing tea before coming to Anatolia; It is only a few hundred years before the tea arrived in Turkey. The spread of tea in Anatolia has been from the 19th century.

Here is a story about the spread of tea in the Turks:
Hodja Ahmet Yesevi becomes a guest of one of the Turkestan kings on the border of Hıtay one day. It was very tired that the weather was very hot that day. The Turkmen who are the guests of the house are about to give birth to the neighbor's taste. Turkmen asks prayer from Hodja Ahmet Yesevi and Ahmet Yesevi as well. With the permission of Allah, the request of the Turkmen takes place immediately. Turkmen is very pleased with this situation. He brings boiling tea, which is an important bonus for the party. Hoca Ahmet Yasevi tea goes to hot hot sweat and tiredness. Then he said, "Take this healing thing, let your sickness drink from it, and Allah is good at it as much as the doom." Here tea is now used among all the Turks and has become a healing drink.

Tea plays an important role in folk culture and ethnography. Tea has been solidified in our social life until it can not fill its place, and it lives with the culture that is formed around it. Tea in our lives until the late hours of the morning and breakfast caused the emergence of various cultural values.
About tea; manners and turks, legends, legends, traditions and customs are cultural values ​​in themselves. In fact, even though the tea word is Chinese, it has reached a large number of words and phrases found in dictionaries and idioms. Such as Tea, Tea Garden, Tea Cup, Tea Demlemek, Tea Cup, Tea Nursery, Tea Fountain, Tea Spoon, Tea Set, Tea Give, Tea Molten, Tea, Tea, Teapot, Tea Money, Tea Shop, Tea Shop, Tea Shop beside the words; Rabbit Blood Tea, Drinking Tea, Restraining Tea, Cray Höpürdetmek, Tea Catering, Pasha Cray has caused the emergence of such phrases.

The cultivation of tea, from the cultivation to the consumption of the tea, revealed a tea ethnography. Scissors, baskets, boxes, teapots, samovars, tea boilers, cups, cups, spoons, trays etc for cutting tea. all ethnographic materials that are formed around the tea cult.
The most important of these is the umbrella culture we can not distinguish from the tea itself. The samovar began to be widely used in Central Asia from the 19th century. With the inheritance from Ahmet Yesevi, it is believed that the tea is healing, and it is believed that the saberan is also a healer. People are seen as a life, a talkative, a sorority to troubles. Samarin was so believed that he was able to heal him, so that he could boil the samovar and drink tea to relieve people at the baths and in the Mevlids. Samovar also has a place in our literature. Samovar is likened to the healing power.
Until now, my homey coffee and tea gardens have begun to be served in porcelain or glass cups, with the "cups" being taken care of by the glass cups. In addition, tea bags of course entered the life, "cafes" in some of the houses in addition to our 100-year tea brewing procedures, raffia immediately lifted, tea bags began to be introduced at the fin. From God, it is now beginning to comprehend that it is not very clever to offer tourists tea bags in porcelain / ceramic finish. We do not know that this is the effect of the news that "Greeks are giving tea in thin glass cups" but recently glass cups have started to be used in tea gardens, even though tea gardens are not ideal size.

If we recall that we have added tea to our culture history with our additives such as brewing method, thin glass cups and curing tea as well as our tea drinking throughout the day, we can not deny that we have legends, our turks, our friends and our manners ...
