I was in Turkey couple years ago and bought what I though was mid-upper end black tea online and it was just your regular lower-end I think indian black. Also it seemed to me in the regular restaurants etc. turkish tea is just the cheapest, bland, borderline soviet-era quality tea. What do young rich people in Turkey drink nowadays as alternative to traditional turkish tea, if anything? I mean besides Starbucks.>>21369821
I have a rich-by-Turkey's-standards acquaintance, she drinks whatever cheap bagged black tea blend she finds at the store.
