Turkish Tea Varieties and Blends: Which One Is Right for You?

When people think of Turkish tea, a single flavour may come to mind — yet the leaf quality, harvest time and blend create a surprising range of varieties. At Berberoğlu Çay you can find an option to suit every palate.

Tip-bud tea

Made from the freshest, topmost shoots (tip buds), this tea has fine leaves, a delicate aroma and brews to a lighter colour. Ideal for those who prefer a smooth, gentle cup.

Classic black tea

The everyday essential for your teapot. Its full-bodied leaves produce a deep, rich "rabbit's-blood" hue. It is at its best when brewed on a low heat for 25 minutes.

Bergamot (Earl Grey)

Black tea blended with bergamot aroma, offering a refreshing taste with citrus notes. A favourite for afternoon tea.

Which one is right for you?

• For a strong start to the morning: classic dark black tea.
• For those who enjoy a lighter cup: tip-bud tea.
• For an aromatic break: bergamot.
