It is good stuff, thanks, I have been drinking two or three cups a day. It would be nice to get some fresh, I don't know if you noticed the packing date on one of the bags , it was 2016. LOL It is very dry but I guess it will last longer that way. :-)
Hello. I actually own a small plot of a family tea plantation in Rize/Turkey. It's nice extra income for me. Besides some info for you: 1. Çaykur (spelled Chayqoor) is a state owned tea company based in Turkey. If you want to buy Turkish tea buy only from them since private tea processing factories produce lower quality tea in my area. Çaykur has taste analysts, tea experts at the field when buying fresh leaves and engineers to ferment and process tea just right. 2. Those yellow packaged ones called "Tourist Tea" and they taste mild and they of moderate quality.
I bought some Caykur tea for the first time a few days ago at a small Arabic grocery store in Milwaukee. Mine is the Cay Cicegi variety in the red bag. Don't know which one is the stronger blend. I found that 5 grams of tea per about 6 ounces of water brews a nice strong cup. I boil water on the stove, add 10 grams, let it brew, and filter into a cup. Really good tea.
Glad you liked it, i will have to try the red bag tea. I think it would be awesome tasting if it was a bit fresher, mine was very dry but I still like the flavor. It is good Tea. :-)
Living in Turkey, this tea as well as many other brands exist. It’s a good tea, similar to Boh tea of Malaysia, which I’ve always felt had a slightly hazlenutty taste. It’s great, but one remains attached to what they’re used to, so I prefer Ceylon tea overall. But I love all tea.
4. Highest quality Turkish Teas are Çaykur's "Altınbaşak" which is produced from the first fresh leaves of the year and again Çaykur's "Tirebolu 42" tea which comes from a particular place called Tirebolu. Both are a great treat for anyone loving pure high quality black tea.
If it doesn't suck the moisture out of your mouth with no sugar or milk then it has to be good and the bigger the mess you make the better the tea is LOL! Your tea looks heavier than what I'm use to seeing. I'll be reading up on it. Thanks for sharing this👍
If you keep heating the tea with steam while it sits down the water then its much more better.. There are lots of videos on youtube how to make the Turkish tea. Enjoy.
Apparently Turkey is second only to the UK in consumption world wide. See Wiki article : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_in_Turkey It is very good tea, I am an Earl Grey drinker and this is a different alternate. It would be nice to try some fresher picked Rize tea. :-)
I love my tea having a King Cole right now, only available in the Maritimes. I can't do Earl Grey though it's the bergarmont in it makes me sick just thinking about it LOL
@@kevinbradleygardeningandou9767 I'm going to have to correct you here. Turkey is first with around 2.5kg of tea consumed per head a year to 2.1kg per head in UK.
How so with the Apple tea, that area is the birthplace of the Apple, well Kazakhstan is. :www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/kazakhstan/7978486/Kazakhstan-the-home-of-the-apple.html
Awesome, glad you liked it, especially after buying so much...lol

Thank you for the information, very helpful and much appreciated. Cheers. :-)
It tastes better if you brew it on a stove for 20 minutes on a steel double-stacked çaydanlık teapot.

We try different kinds of tea from time to time, thanks for unboxing video. Have a great weekend!
Thanks for the visit, much appreciated. :-)
"Put water first and after add tea" that's the golden rule of this
3. Red packaged ones called "Tiryaki" and they have a strong and pleasant flavor without any bitterness as long as you brew it right.
Thanks Kevin for the video..... indeed i love this tea just ordered from Amazon thanks for sharing
Your welcome, it is tasty, enjoy. :-)
It has to be good if both you and Paul like it. Have a great weekend. Best wishes Bob.
Why thank you Bob, you have a great weekend too. :-)
Turkish tea sounds interesting. I will have to try that. Subbed to your channel. Cheers, Vinny.
Thanks for the sub , subbed you back. :-)
You can not beat a good cup of tea. Cure all for everything ;-)
I agree, and this cupa is a good one. :-)
I have just seen some in my local supermarket not the same brand 6 franks for 1000g
That is a good deal, about eight dollars for double the pack size, so half price, but does it taste as good. LOL. :-)
We are closer to Turkey and have a large number of Turks here.
I guess Turkey is not the most stable country to live in especially with the trouble next door.

Your Welcome PC, I have been drinking two or three cups a day it makes a change from my usual , which is Earl Grey. :-)
If you keep heating the tea with steam while it sits down the water then its much more better.. There are lots of videos on youtube how to make the Turkish tea. Enjoy.
Thanks for the advice. Cheers. :-)
That was a surprise I wouldn't have associated Turkey with tea.

@@Nitelife30 I stand corrected, I guess Turkey likes its Tea more than the UK. Thanks for the input. :-)
It's tea time somewhere!
I just finished my second cup. Love this Turkish tea. Thanks. :-)
Now that's a lot of tea my friend looks strong. Just pressed you red button. Hope you can stop bye a push mine. Thanks 370
ha onda çay mi konur
Turkish tea good
Thank you. Cheers. :-)
That's not gunna work! Wait!... wrong channel. The apple tea they give tourists is quite nice too, but oh so very fake.
How so with the Apple tea, that area is the birthplace of the Apple, well Kazakhstan is. :www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/kazakhstan/7978486/Kazakhstan-the-home-of-the-apple.html
It's a Paul saying mate - That's not gunna work! The apple tea for tourists is a kind of instant thing. No real Turk would drink it.
Ah ! I am with you now. LOL :-)
What a mess :D
