Journey through the winding paths of tea’s history, beginning in ancient Anatolia and rippling outward across continents. From Turkish tea gardens overlooking the Black Sea to bustling London tea rooms, this beverage’s story is woven into the fabric of cultures worldwide.
In Turkey, tea is both a daily ritual and a ceremonial language—a symbol of hospitality and comfort. Over time, the tradition of strong, carefully brewed black tea has shaped Turkish identity. Yet the leaves themselves trace routes much further, branching through imperial China, the spice-laden tracks of India, and the tranquil tearooms of Japan.
Our interactive timeline invites you to explore how tea was revered in the Ming dynasty, celebrated in English parlors, and embraced as a unifier during historic global events. Turkish methods, from curly-leafed Rize çay to the tulip-shaped glasses, have absorbed influences, while still retaining unique touches—like brewing with a dual-kettle “çaydanlık” and the art of offer and pour.
Unlock the remarkable chemistry of tea, where antioxidants, amino acids, and natural compounds create more than refreshing flavor—they fuel vitality and mind.
