In a bid to showcase the rich tradition of Turkish tea, the Trade Ministry is bringing expert tea brewers from the Black Sea province of Rize to Japan from Dec. 11 to 13, where they will host classes and competitions, offering a taste of the country's finest tea craftsmanship to Japanese enthusiasts.

Scientists in the Black Sea province of Rize have initiated a study to identify drought-tolerant tea varieties in response to the looming threat posed by global warming and its impact on tea cultivation.

Türkiye's northern coast, with its nascent entrepreneurial model, is attracting international tourists through several workshops that delve into the renowned tea production journey.

These workshops offer participants a comprehensive glimpse into the intricate process, from the verdant tea fields of the Black Sea Region, particularly Rize, to the meticulous packaging stages.

The Trade Ministry has announced that it will provide support to promote Turkish salmon and tea within the scope of the "Turquality Support" project.

According to a statement from the Eastern Black Sea Exporters Association (DKİB), the projects prepared by DKİB for the promotion of Turkish salmon and tea have been endorsed by the ministry.

Tea producers in Türkiye have chimed in on an American chemist's seemingly outrageous suggestion to put salt while brewing tea which sparked controversy on social media saying, "tea should be drunk in its purest form, without altering the taste."

A cup of tea just got a bit more relaxing. Tea can be part of a healthy diet and people who drink tea may even be a little more likely to live longer than those who don't, according to a large study.

Nearly 150,000 workers at more than 200 Bangladeshi tea plantations went on strike Saturday to demand a 150 percent rise to their dollar-a-day wages, which researchers say are among the lowest in the world.    

Most tea workers in the overwhelmingly Muslim country are low-caste Hindus, the descendants of labourers brought to the plantations by colonial-era British planters.    

Turkey has broken its own record in tea consumption with an increase from 3.5 to 4 kilograms per person annually amid the coronavirus pandemic, according to a report by the International Tea Committee.

Consumption at cafes or tea houses declined due to lockdowns and curfews, but the pandemic did not stop tea consumption from exceeding previous levels.

Local authorities have applied to the Guinness World Records to get a seven-floor building in the shape of a tea glass in the Black Sea province of Rize, known as "the capital of Turkish tea," to be registered as the "the biggest tea glass."
