      Anyone know anything about Turkish tea plantations? I hadn’t heard anything really until I saw @lazyliteratus mention tea from that country on another site. I’ve never tried any tea from there, curious if anyone has. Here’s a pic of a tea garden in Rize Province in Turkey:

      No, I must admit that I don’t know much about Turkish tea. Would that be the birthplace of the Samovar? Either way, the image above is absolutely beautiful.

      Samovar? I would say Russia.

      And for the Turkish production, it was displayed here http://teaconomics.teatra.de/2011/05/27/the-classical-economics-part-i/

      I don’t have my stats here but I will look at them as soon as possible.

      Thanks for reminding us of your post, I forgot Turkey was included in the list of seven…

      Correct; Russia is the birthplace of the samovar. Turkey is the birthplace of the çaydanlık, or stacked kettle. The concept is the same in both of them, however. Tea on the top, hot water in the bottom, water the tea down to your tastes.

      Turkey is also home to very elegent turkish teacup.

      @Xavier I haven’t, but let me check google and wikipedia.

      Unsure if the second link will work…

      I once found a place near me that sold them, but they sold each cup individually, and each saucer was sold individually from its cup. The cups themselves were five dollars, the saucers three. It was quite ridiculous.

      Thanks. I saw some in the past but I didn’t know they were Turkish.
