What is turkish tea glass?

Turkish tea glass, also known as a "çay bardağı" in Turkish, is a traditional glassware used to serve Turkish tea. These glasses are typically cylindrical with a narrow top and wide bottom. They are usually made of clear glass, but can also be found in various colors and designs.

In Turkey, Turkish tea is an essential part of the culture and is enjoyed throughout the day. The tea is typically brewed using a samovar, a traditional tea kettle with two chambers. The brewed tea is then poured into the tea glasses and served with small cubes of sugar.

Turkish tea glasses are often served on small saucers and are meant to be held by the rim to avoid burning the fingers. They are also designed to keep the tea hot for longer periods. The glasses are commonly used in tea houses and cafes in Turkey, but can also be found in homes and restaurants.

In recent years, Turkish tea glasses have become popular souvenirs for tourists visiting Turkey. They are often decorated with intricate designs, patterns, and symbols and can be purchased in markets and souvenir shops throughout the country.
