The national drink of Turkey is Turkish tea, known as "çay" in Turkish. Turkish tea is a strong black tea brewed from leaves grown on the steep, verdant hillsides of Turkey's northern regions, particularly in the Rize province. It's typically served hot in small, tulip-shaped glasses, and it's a ubiquitous beverage enjoyed throughout the country. Turkish tea is often served alongside hospitality and is an integral part of social gatherings, meetings, and daily life in Turkey.
