replies: text:  çay is the nominative case of the tea, çayı is the accusative case. That means wenn used alone, it is çay only, wenn it is used in ıhlamur çayı, the word gets an ending in the Turkish language. CeeGee 09:01, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Actually, to be pedantic, it isn't the accusative case but an indefinite compound noun. They construct using a similar ending but the grammar is different.--Billyshakes (talk) 02:56, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

message: In what way is Turkish tea related to Turkish coffee? The plants are not related so you must describe the relationship. Is the custom of drinking them similar? What is the article trying to say? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.127.233.162 (talk) 08:37, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

message: With a total tea volume of about 180,000 tonnes in 2004 according to Euromonitor International, Turkey has the second largest tea market in the world after India
it is not production but consumption
divide 180,000 tonnes by 72 million (population of Turkey), you get 2.5 kg/person
it might be production as well (if Turkey does not export tea)

replies: text: I don't understand why the figures you added are so different than the worldwide ones that were there before (which I admit I don't know the source for).  Doing a Web search, I cannot find anything about tea consumption in China, only production and export.  But I find it hard to believe that China, with its enormous population (most of whom drink tea regularly) is not one of the top countries in gross tea consumption.

text: User:Denizz, you seem to be more knowledgeable about me on this subject, so I will leave it from now to you to sort out these facts.  You seem to have found some good sources but I still would like the gross production/consumption figures to be stated as well as the per capita ones.  Badagnani 23:33, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

message: In Southern Turkey around Alanya I used to drink a herbal tea called "ada çay" which I believe translates as "island tea". It was bright yellow and aromatic with a flower head in it, and commonly served in tea houses as a quite popular item. Is this still drunk? --MichaelGG 06:22, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think so.. In fact, I am pretty sure that it is still commonly drunk in the Aegean and Mediterranean provinces.. Baristarim 06:31, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks as if adaçayı is Sage, specifically the genus Salvia--and that it's drunk primarily on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey (hence the name). Interesting that the flower is used--I've never heard of a culinary use of sage flowers.  Or might it have been a flower from a different plant put in the sage tea?  Adaçayı may be similar to Sideritis, another herbal tea from the eastern Mediterranean.  See these searches for more websites about adaçayı:   Badagnani 06:37, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

message: " The nation's founder, Atatürk, encouraged tea as an alternative to Turkish coffee, "...
What does the nation's founder mean? Who is the founder of the english nation? Who is the founder of the german nation? Do the nations have founders? If so, how can we assess the title founder to somebody? If Atatürk is the founder of Turkish nation, then does not this refute the theory that Turkish people has a history longer than 2000 years? (probably a short circuit in a typical kemalist brain).... It should be "the founder of the republic", more objective and befitting the standarts of the encyclopedia. alpsinan.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alpsinan (talk • contribs) 00:58, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Help 

message: I am planning on making some changes to the article in the coming weeks. I am hoping to expand the domestic production section and rewrite and write material regarding the economics of tea. I will add subsections such as trade and impacts of covid-19. I hope to add a politics of tea section and zoom in on the current and past governments' relations with tea. I hope to add more to the tea-drinking ritual section and talk about tea gardens and kiraathane's more and how they are evolving with the shifting demographics of Turkey. Finally, I want to touch on the consumption of tea in this section. All the aforementioned suggestions will be from up-to-date sources which I believe will hone this article to be more relevant.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yc7718 (talk • contribs) 02:50, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
