Brewing Methods

 

Traditional Turkish Method (With Çaydanlık)

The çaydanlık is a two-tier Turkish teapot used to brew strong, flavorful tea. Follow these steps to brew TAMI Turkish Black Tea traditionally:

  1. Fill the bottom kettle of the çaydanlık with fresh water and bring it to a boil.
  2. Pour boiling water into the top kettle and add 5-6 tablespoons of TAMI Turkish Black Tea leaves.
  3. Let the tea steam on low heat for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Pour less than halfway of the concentrated tea into a small Turkish tea glass (çay bardağı) and dilute with hot water to your preferred strength.

 

Alternative Brewing Methods (Without Çaydanlık)

 

For those without a traditional çaydanlık, you can still enjoy the rich taste of TAMI Turkish Black Tea by following these simple methods:

 

Option 1: Using a Regular Teapot

  • Add 1-2 teaspoons of TAMI Turkish Black Tea leaves per cup into a regular teapot.
  • Pour freshly boiled water over the tea leaves.
  • Let the tea steep for 4-5 minutes.
  • Strain the tea and enjoy, adjusting the strength by adding more hot water if desired.

    Option 2: Using an Infuser or Tea Bag

    • Add 1-2 teaspoons of tea leaves into an infuser.
    • Steep in boiling water for 4-5 minutes.
    • Remove the infuser and enjoy.

       

      Tips for the Perfect Brew

       

      • Water Temperature: Boil fresh, cold water for the best flavor extraction.
      • Tea-to-Water Ratio: For stronger tea, add more leaves or let it steam longer. To make the tea milder, simply dilute with more water.
      • Steeping Time: Let the tea steam for 10-15 minutes when using the Turkish method, or steep for 4-5 minutes for alternative methods. Adjust the steeping time based on your taste preference.


      Serving Tip: Turkish tea is traditionally enjoyed without sugar cubes—because real tea lovers can handle the strength! But hey, if you need to sweeten things up with a cube or two, we won't judge... well, maybe a little!
