I was in Jordan when I first tasted good (great!) tea. I couldn't believe tea could taste so good. I was just drinking a cup of so-so tea with sage in it that vaguely reminded me of the tea I tasted in Jordan. I found your blog post after searching for what that tea could have been. I'll be ordering some Turkish tea right away! By the way, which brands of Turkish tea did you like best? Jason My experience was much like yours.

We’ve each got a little omelet with chunks of sausage (chicken sausage, of course— it tastes a lot better than it sounds), there’s a salad for the table to share, a bowl of olives (my favourite), and of course plenty of fresh bread with stuff to put on it: chocolate cream, butter spread, honey, and cheese. To drink, there’s your choice of Turkish tea or freshly homemade ayran, which is a yogurt drink, but not sweet like yogurt drinks we get in the West.

Tavla is played on what appears to be a backgammon board (every Turkish household has one of these), but from what I understand the rules and scoring are slightly different from how backgammon is played elsewhere (I can’t say, because I was only introduced to the game after I came to Turkey). And Turkish tea, well… it’s good enough to keep you sitting there all night. This is such an instantly recognisable way for Turkish people to spend an evening, I thought I snap a photo and share. That’s Emrah on the left, and my beloved Emirhan on the right.
