Myth and Reality: The Story of Elma Çayı

For many visitors to Turkey, apple tea – elma çayı – is simply part of the market experience. Served sweet and in a classic tea glass, it feels traditional. But in everyday Turkish life, it’s actually black çay that reigns supreme.

A tradition for visitors? 


“Turkish apple tea” is a prime example of how tourist traditions can take hold: something attractive created for visitors becomes woven into the fabric of genuine local tea culture.

The apple itself, however, has far deeper roots in Turkey


Its cultivation in Anatolia dates all the way back to ancient times. The country now produces between 4 and 5 million tonnes of apples annually – around 5 percent of global production.
