About Turkish Tea: The National Drink of Turkey
People who are unfamiliar with the country of Turkey assume the national drink is coffee, but in fact, tea is the inseparable drink of Turkish culture. Women, family, and friends often meet in tea gardens, while men flock to the male dominated teahouses that are a focal point of most villages and towns.
Meaning “To love is like tea, to be loved is like sugar. The poor like us drink their tea without sugar.”
