The Historical Journey of Tea

Contrary to popular belief, tea entered Turkey quite late. Although Turkey is among the countries that consume the most tea in the world, Turks did not know about tea until the 1900s. With the culture inherited from the Ottoman Empire, Turks were complete 'coffee addicts'. However, today in Turkey, tea has become the most frequently consumed beverage after water. If we take a brief historical journey about tea; it is derived from the Chinese word 'Cha'. All languages use words derived from this root for tea. Tea was first encountered in a document written in China 2700 years ago, in 2700 BC. However, records indicate it was used only as medicine.

Tea only became the national drink of the Chinese 400 years after the common era. With the beginning of trade relations in the Middle Ages, the value of tea was gradually understood and it spread all over the world. Around 350 AD, the Chinese traveled to Ceylon by ship and traded their goods with those brought by Arab and Persian ships. From the 8th century onwards, Arab and Persian ships traveled all the way to China. From the 15th century, tea arrived in Central Asia by land, and thus Tibetans began to use it generally.

Europe only received news about tea during the Crusades. Famous travelers Giovanni Battista Ramusio (1559), L. Almedia (1588), and Tareira (1610) first mentioned tea in the 16th century. However, they did not provide definite information about the preparation of tea. In 1610, ships of the Dutch East India Company brought the first tea to the Netherlands, and it soon became a popular beverage. The first tea arrived in Paris in 1635 and in London in 1650. It reached Russia by land in 1638 and entered Germany in 1647. The adoption of tea by the public was due to many doctors recommending it.

According to research, Turks' acquaintance with tea dates back to Central Asia in the 12th century. In the book Fevakihü'l-Cülesa by Abdül'l-Kayyum Nasıri, a Kazan Crimean Turk and language reformer, it is written that the first Turk to drink tea was Hoca Ahmet Yesevi.

The first experiments related to tea cultivation in Turkey were carried out in Bursa in 1888 during the reign of Abdülhamit II, and no successful results were obtained. In 1924, some experiments were conducted in Rize with seeds brought from the Caucasus, and good results were obtained because climate-appropriate seeds were used. With the law enacted in 1939, tea cultivation developed rapidly. Tea cultivation in our country first started around Rize and spread over time. Today, tea cultivation is carried out in the Black Sea coastal region from Sürmene to Hopa, in areas up to 500 meters above sea level.

Today, tea has become so synonymous with our culture that it is indispensable for conversations, intimate chats, relieving fatigue, enjoying oneself, starting a conversation, and warming up the atmosphere. We wake up in the morning and drink tea, we drink tea at work, we drink it after lunch, we have afternoon tea, we have evening tea, our first task after iftar is to drink tea, and we don't go to bed without drinking tea in the evening. In short, we drink tea all day long. When a beverage becomes such an integral part of us, many idioms related to tea have inevitably emerged in our language… 'Rabbit's blood tea' (strong, dark tea), 'kıtlama tea' (tea with a lump of sugar in the mouth), 'to slurp tea', 'pasha's tea' (rich tea), 'to offer tea'… Many of us also add various ingredients to tea, from cinnamon and cloves to ginger.
