Turkish black tea has a significant place in daily life. Turkish tea can be enjoyed at any time of the day, most popular at breakfast. Harvesting, on the other hand, is a whole other story. It usually takes place in three phases during the year. Tea harvest, which is one of the most important sources of income in the Black Sea region, is not the easiest task in the world. Local women make it seem quite easy with their smiling faces and skillful hands while they fill their baskets with tea leaves.
If you are up to the challenge, you are welcome to join them in the highlands of Artvin, Rize, Ordu, Trabzon, and Giresun as they harvest. You are guaranteed to have a lot of fun and drink many cups of tea to heal your sore body at the end of the day.
