Çaykur Altınbaş is one of the best-known black tea names in Turkey, and this Klasik Kolay Demlik version packs it into 40 large brewing bags, each designed for a family-size teapot rather than a single cup. According to the box it is a natural black tea blended from the top leaves of the tea shoots, with a deep colour and the clean, slightly astringent taste Turkish tea drinkers look for. The ingredient is simply black tea.
The maker's guidance is to add one bag for every three to four glasses to a teapot that already holds freshly boiled water, then leave it to steep for ten to twelve minutes. Serve it in small tulip-shaped glasses with sugar cubes, alongside a simit, a slice of cake or a plate of breakfast cheeses. Because the bags are large, they also suit a big pot for guests or a pitcher of iced tea once cooled.
Keep the box closed in a cool, dry place away from strong smells, as tea absorbs aromas easily. The 200 g carton holds 40 bags, which makes it practical for everyday use in busy households or offices.
