Caykur Black Tea (Cay Cicegi) 500 gr by Caykur

It’s better than mainstream loose tea like Lyons etc but not comparable to proper whole leaf tea. It’s strong but rough and rather unrefined. God way of using it to blend it with milder, more elegant tea. Quite expensive for what it is.

Delivered was quick and right. Just upset to say tea was very weak and no nice flavour. Just boring. Sorry for say it.

Great

Çay çok güzel biz karıştırıp kullanıyoruz güzel tad veriyor

I feel comfortable writing a review for this tea, because I just finished one whole bag of it today. It did take just about a whole year for me to consume it, and I am very happy with it and would definitely buy it again. The recommended serving is to use two grams of tea per 8 oz. of water, but I ended just using slightly more than 1/4 teaspoon per cup because I think two grams of tea would be too strong (a caffeine-like induced heart racing, if you will). The aroma of the tea is wonderful, especially right after the leaves is mixed with boiling water, but I found that I needed to put the tea back in the microwave for another 20 seconds of boiling to fully extract the flavor, and the color of the tea is wonderful, too. I understand now why in Turkey Tea Houses they make it strong, then have hot water and dilute it to taste, because the strong tea can pack quite a punch. Maybe I don't drink it all that strong, but I think I easily drink 6-8 mugs of this tea a day now. You will not need much of leaves to make a strong cup. One recommendation I would make if you are contemplating to get this is to have ample air-tight storage containers available. I filled two out of three of the larger air-tight locking storage containers (you know the one, Sugar, Flour, Tea locking containers), and scoop out about 1/4 cup at a time for daily use. There is enough tea for 250 cups of very strong tea, so take steps to keep it fresh, from your first cup to the last. Now that I have finished this Cay Cicegi (Tea Flower), I have opened the next "Rize (Region) Tourist Blend" Link: Caykur Rize Tea 500g I can tell you that my first impression contrasting the two is that the Cay Cicegi is stronger tea, and it does has a hint of flower blossom aroma, where upon opening up the Rize tea bag brings an aroma that reminds me of Japanese Dried Seaweed Nori (before brewing the tea). If you have not had a chance to try this tea, try it if someone offers it to you. I myself am a fan of this tea for life.

This is exactly the tea I was looking for. We visited Istanbul before and drank Turkish tea there, and when I brewed this one, I immediately recognized the same authentic taste and aroma. If you enjoy traditional Turkish tea, I definitely recommend trying this one. Very satisfying and genuinely reminds me of tea served in Turkey.

Todo bien, buen sabor. Aprobado por los expertos del hogar. Llegó bien y me siento feliz de haber encontrado por fin té negro de buena calidad. Definitivamente, seguiré adquiriéndolo en el futuro.

Profumo intenso, buono da gustare a qualsiasi ora
