Turkish black tea - what is the secret of its brewing?
Proven fact: Turkish black tea is popular all over the world, including in Ukraine. Although its quality cannot be compared with elite Chinese large-leaf varieties. And yet it is actively consumed, especially by connoisseurs of traditional black teas.
As for Turkey, local residents adore this drink and drink it always, everywhere, under any circumstances and weather conditions. We remember from programs and films the famous Turkish tea glass cups...
Turkey ranks first in the world ranking of consumption of this drink. Local residents consider it a symbol of hospitality, friendliness. Successful deals and positive conversations are always accompanied by the use of black tea. In this country, it is not customary to refuse a cup of tea. Otherwise, it may be perceived as an insult. It is not surprising that it aroused interest among foreigners and began to be purchased in decent batches.
Grown Turkish black tea is exported in large volumes and competes with traditional Indian black varieties. Tea leaves grown in Turkey are not much different from Indian ones. The exclusivity of Turkish tea is not the raw material, but the brewing method. Note: the Turkish product is cheaper.
Turkish black teas differ in taste. And at the same time they are united by a light bitterness, accompanied by sourness, tartness and enveloping taste.
Real Turkish tea must be brewed in Turkish. Otherwise, its natural taste and aromatic shades will not be able to manifest themselves in their beauty. Do not think that this is difficult. Everything is very accessible to every Ukrainian.
How to brew Turkish black tea in a Turkish way?
In this case, you can’t do without a special kettle that works on the principle of a samovar. Its lower part is designed for boiling water, the upper part is for brewing. In terms of time, the whole procedure takes no more than 20 minutes.
Fill the lower part of the container with water to the top, put it on the fire. Pour 2 tablespoons of dry raw materials into the upper part (you can with a slide). When the water boils at the bottom, the heated tea begins to show its aroma.
The water has boiled - you need to pour the tea leaves with ordinary water so that it is completely wet (up to the spout hole). Put both kettles on the fire: in the lower one, the water boils, in the upper one, the tea is brewed, heated by steam. The lid must be closed.
When the water boils at the bottom, reduce the heat to low. Boil in this mode for at least 15 minutes.
How to know if the drink is ready? Open the lid: if the teapots have sunk to the bottom, the tea can be poured into cups. If they are on the surface, boil until ready.
Properly brewed Turkish tea is strong, aromatic, bitter, with a beautiful transparent infusion of a rich red-brown color. In Turkey, black tea is always drunk with sugar, but without adding any ingredients (milk, honey, lemon...)
Turkish black tea is excellent for invigorating and toning. Its effect is comparable to coffee. At the same time, the drink contains much less caffeine (hypertensives should refrain from strong infusion). In addition, it has a diuretic effect, perfectly cooling in the heat. It is not recommended to consume in large quantities in diseases associated with blood vessels, as well as in gout and arthritis.
