Tea rituals from around the world
The British five o'clock tea ritual
The history of tea begins in England at the start of the 17th century. The British imported tea from China and enjoyed it with milk and sugar. In the 19th century, they invented the five o'clock tea ritual. Depending on the time of day and the pastries served, the ritual is referred to as either "low tea" or "high tea". The essential element of both tea rituals is the elegant porcelain teacup.
Chai wallahs' tea on Indian streets
When tea is mentioned, India is among the first countries that come to mind. However, the history of tea in this country is not very long. Indians have been drinking "chai" since the 19th century, and today it is usually enjoyed with milk, sugar, cardamom, fennel, and cloves. You can find this delicious tea in India thanks to the "chai wallahs" on every street corner. In this country, several tea rituals are observed.The tea ceremony in Japan
Japan has known tea since the 12th century. What Chinese monks brought to Japan was initially drunk only by Japanese rulers and high-ranking court officials. By the 16th century, tea had already become an indispensable part of everyday life. The most popular tea in Japan is matcha, which is made from ground green tea leaves. The Japanese enjoy this tea during a ritual called "Chanoyu", which means "the way of tea".German tea culture
The Calvinist temperance movement from the Netherlands brought an alternative to alcohol to Germany, giving rise to East Frisian tea culture, which is now recognized as intangible cultural heritage. People in this region drink 11 times more black tea than people in the rest of Germany.
The new tea culture with Mevlana Tea
We have another tea culture in Germany thanks to Ceylon tea, which Turks bring to Turkey every year as a gift. The popularity that Mevlana black tea enjoys in Turkey means that Turks living in Germany buy large quantities of this excellent tea, especially during the summer months, and bring it to Turkey.
Mevlana black tea from Goran Tee comes from Sri Lanka and is produced in Germany to be 98% dust-free. The second distinctive feature of this tea is its luxury blend.
