One of the most common teas in Turkey is a black tea, otherwise know as çay. People drink it at any time of day and serving it to others is generally seen as a sign of friendship and hospitality.

So what makes this tea "Turkish?" Traditionally, the black tea is made from leaves grown and harvested on the Balck Sea coast. They are eventually brewed in a porcelain teapot and is sometimes dilluted with additional hot water. Cubes of sugar, which can be added to taste, often accompany the small glass cup and  spoon.
