Turkish tea with a Turk

In the Arabic stores the brand is "CayKur". I think Cay is tea and Kur
is Turkey. There are two versions everyday,special. Special in my
area is $6/500g and I think everyday half the price. It is pesticide
free but not marketed as organic because I think they use fertilizers.
It is noted for long steap times without bitterness. In my experience
there is no difference in taste between long and short infusions. You
can buy the cheap stainless steel Turkey teapot with the boiler on
bottom and pot on top for brewing all day. You make a concentrate for
the pot and keep water warm in the boiler and mix the two for a cup.
This tea is one of my black staples and it regularly finds it's way
into my cup. Sorry to butcher the post just too add my thoughts.

Bluesea & T:

Your welcome, more stories are on the way. When you travel, you always
meet many interesting people from different countries, different ethnic
background and get the chance to learn a lot. When I talk with many
people from different countries and they share their good or bad life
experience, I can feel there are so much to learn. Everyday, I feel I
am learning new about this beautiful earth and feel more proud to be a
human being. I have also learned- basically, no matter where are we
form but at a point- we are the same people.

Danube & Jim:

pot. BTW, Jim Have you find the black salt yet? Thanks.

Not yet. I'm still stocked on curry powder,gravy,paste. I'm running
low on chapatti,roti,nan. I use to make the breads myself but found an
Indian grocery store where they are frozen. They taste soft when
unfrozen and never brittle or dry from freezing plus cheap compared to
the restaurants. I'm so bad I coat my McD double cheese burger with
gravy. Not bad with the fries. Curry makes anything palatable.
