What is the difference between the black, pink and yellow bags of this tea?

Dear Customer, Teas are generally of two types. Black and green tea. Green tea is produced by steaming the leaves without oxidizing them after harvest. Black tea, on the other hand, is produced by leaving the leaves to be oxidized with air after harvest and take their black color.

Is this tea whole dried leaves or crushed? If it is crushed, does anyone know which brand has the whole dried leaves?

This does not have the whole dried leaves; rather, the tea leaves seem more cut than crushed. I had this brand of tea when I was in Turkey, and I brew it every morning to start the day.

Is this exported from Turkey and packaged somewhere else?

This must be exported from Turkey. Turkey is a tea producer and international brands do local production, but Çaykur, a state owned company, doesn't have overseas production. I checked their website to be sure.

do you deliver direct to saudi arabia ?

We do ship to all countries allowed by amazon.com. This statement is valid if you buy the product from Tulumba Marketing.

Very, very nice

I was prompted to try Turkish tea after my first glass at a restaurant and after one attempt at using this as near as possible to the double pot method, without a double pot, I have to say that this is great tea.No sugar and it is still slightly sweet to my taste.There is loads of information online about how to make Turkish tea - follow them. For a strong but not overly so, brew, you need 4 teaspoons in one mug - 2 teaspoons for one Turkish tea glass.

Caykur Altinbas Cay tea

I don't like drinking water so make this tea and cool it down and drink it cold, sometimes with ice on those hot days. Nice mellow flavour. You can decide the strength of tea you want, dependant on how much leaves you use.

Not really loose leaf tea

I was expecting loose leaf tea but got a very powdered specimen. Not for me I'm afraid. I like my tea, dark and strong but very clear and this doesn't cut it.
