Great tea and much less expensive and frankly better than harney, taylor etc

If you love strong, full-bodied black tea, ÇAYKUR Altınbaş Golden Tips is a fantastic choice. The flavor is smooth yet bold, with a deep amber color and a clean finish—no bitterness when brewed properly. The aroma is fresh and inviting, and you can really taste the premium quality of the leaves. It’s perfect for traditional Turkish tea preparation in a çaydanlık, but also works well with a standard teapot. A little goes a long way, and the consistency from cup to cup is impressive. Definitely a staple for anyone who appreciates authentic, high-quality black tea.

good tea, the aroma, and taste is really good, decent price, and delivered to my door in two days! will order again.

I love the bitter aftertaste in this tea. It's like coffee.. Some bitterness to savor, especially with sweets and deserts.

Makes very good tea. I also use it for making kombucha

As advertised!

OMG! I'm an absolute tea junkie and was watching the gripping Turkish mafia/revenge TV series on Netflix Kaçak. All through it they were drinking tea. I realized I had never tried turkish tea, so I looked up how it's made (which they say requires a double teapot but I found a way to prepare it without that) tried this -- and this is GREAT. It now ranks as one of my top three teas in my HUGE tea collection. This is a very smooth tea, amber in color. There is zero bitterness. It has a wonderful flavor. I could see why they drink it all day in Turkey,. This is HIGHLY recommended by yours truly who drinks many cups of tea each day both at home and while on the road (I'm an entertainer). They make their tea very strong and add water. I'm hitting upon just the right amount for me so I haven't had to add more water, but did make it way too weak once. This is also a good tea to introduce kids to since there is really no bitterness but it is indeed tea with the great energy boost you feel from it.

I was prompted to try Turkish tea after my first glass at a restaurant and after one attempt at using this as near as possible to the double pot method, without a double pot, I have to say that this is great tea. No sugar and it is still slightly sweet to my taste. There is loads of information online about how to make Turkish tea - follow them. For a strong but not overly so, brew, you need 4 teaspoons in one mug - 2 teaspoons for one Turkish tea glass.

Très bon produit.

I am enjoying my first cup of this delicious tea. Comparing it to the Turkish tea I brought home from a Turkish grocer in Berlin. (I’m in Canada) and it’s just as good. There’s a notably different flavour as the tea from Berlin is Hakimi Ceylon Black tea which has a bit of a brighter flavour with a slightly sweet taste. This tea is from the area of the Black Sea and is just as delicious! Especially with spice cookies!!! It’s finely ground so you will need a fine diffuser or tea bags.

Wunderbar in Farbe und Geschmack
