Turkey is the number one among tea drinking countries, even the well-known tea nation UK is beaten by them! xD
Well it makes sense if you know how Turks drink tea 😳 Imagine sitting together with family/friends while drinking tea in small fancy glasses
You will start with your first glass and ask them how they are, then you will ask for another glass while you talk about something different, then with the next topic another glass of tea follows ... And this will continue so long until you realize that you and your friend/family member finished the whole pot xD ... Boy, it can be really addicting if you drink your tea like this, even if you are a coffee junkie like me!
I found this comic on insta uploaded by @cizgimsifilm
UK: Turkey you should stop now!
Turkey: I didn't drink any tea yet!
(I love this badass expression of Turkey sm xD)
Here I have some nice maps/statistics for you as well that are interesting to see ^^
Oh I have something to add!
Last time I heard that the younger generations prefer coffee more than tea, maybe the statistics could change in a few years
Coffee is more "trendy" among young people and sadly not everyone has the time to drink tea "like a Turk"
Here is another statistic, that will tell you in which jobs and ages are the most coffee drinkers
Sadly the "fastfood-culture" is getting more popular too :/ some young Turks don't know how to cook properly (or even struggle to clean the house), because some traditional Turkish dishes take a lot of time and not everyone has the time to cook them
Sorry if I may sound like an old person, but I really love cooking and I am someone who appreciate home made food more then fast food ... The Turkish cuisine has much more than just Baklava and Kebap, and it is sad to see that it is still so underrated even if it has a great diversity
Do Turks still eat healthy? Today, an increasing number choose quick and easy options, but express nostalgia for the traditional healthy Tur
