Turkish Tea Pot 3pc Set Granit BNC 3 l Porcelain Kettle Jug

A traditional Turkish teapot is called a çaydanl?k, and it's made of two teapots connected vertically. And while you might assume the design is to hold more tea, there's another reason a çaydanl?k produces better-tasting tea than your electric kettle at home. While a çaydanl?k can accommodate a lot of tea, its real innovation is that it brews using indirect heat. A traditional teapot sits directly on its heat source and can potentially burn the leaves, producing a bitter-tasting tea. However, with a çaydanl?k, the tea leaves are only in the top pot. Therefore, the leaves are heated more slowly, bringing out a better flavor and not risking overheating the tea. The device works like this: two teapots sit on each other, the top one smaller than the bottom. To start, the bottom pot has only water, and the top only leaves. Once the bottom pot boils, a small amount is added to the leaf pot and left to brew, at which point the heat is turned down. After a quarter hour or so of brewing, the concentrated tea brew is added to cups and diluted with water from the bottom pot because the top pot is too concentrated to be enjoyable on its own. For the top pot, a 1:3 ratio of leaves to water is typical, but it can be adjusted to your liking.
