Is it ihlamur çayı or ihlamur çay? Badagnani 23:17, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
Why does the article (and some other websites) say çay? Badagnani 08:39, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
In what way is Turkish tea related to Turkish coffee? The plants are not related so you must describe the relationship. Is the custom of drinking them similar? What is the article trying to say? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.127.233.162 ( talk) 08:37, 7 January 2007 (UTC).
With a total tea volume of about 180,000 tonnes in 2004 according to Euromonitor International, Turkey has the second largest tea market in the world after India
it is not production but consumption
divide 180,000 tonnes by 72 million (population of Turkey), you get 2.5 kg/person
it might be production as well (if Turkey does not export tea) deniz 12:29, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
the rest might be just exported/wasted or stats may be about black tea
I have another reference which seems more reliable
According to this one, tea production of Turkey is 205 500 tonnes which is 6.4% of the world total (3.2 million tonnes) in 2004.
Turkeys tea exports were $6894 thousands and imports were $6633 thousands (compare to China's $451mi export, $6877 thou import, so a net $444million export).
So, basically Turkish people consumed (or wasted) as much as tea as it produced. That first source seems more reliable to me now for Turkey's statistics.
The reference of the text that you are reinserting is
Kenya is the biggest exporter by weight and Sri Lanka by price
Those stats are more reliable as production rather than consumption levels
Then source 4 kinda agrees with source 2
Did you check the prices on the reports by Euromonitor International
[5]. I hope GBP is not Great Britain pound.

In Southern Turkey around Alanya I used to drink a herbal tea called "ada çay" which I believe translates as "island tea". It was bright yellow and aromatic with a flower head in it, and commonly served in tea houses as a quite popular item. Is this still drunk? -- MichaelGG 06:22, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
"Turkish tea is more popular than Turkish coffee among younger people in Turkey."How do we know this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.156.212.40 ( talk) 14:46, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
I can approve that. We don't drink coffee as much as we drink tea. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.171.27.111 ( talk) 02:18, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
" The nation's founder, Atatürk, encouraged tea as an alternative to Turkish coffee, "... What does the nation's founder mean? Who is the founder of the english nation? Who is the founder of the german nation? Do the nations have founders? If so, how can we assess the title founder to somebody? If Atatürk is the founder of Turkish nation, then does not this refute the theory that Turkish people has a history longer than 2000 years? (probably a short circuit in a typical kemalist brain).... It should be "the founder of the republic", more objective and befitting the standarts of the encyclopedia. alpsinan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alpsinan ( talk • contribs) 00:58, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
There is some validity to the "nation's founder" statement. Before the Turkish nationalist movement, there was no such thing as the Turkish nation. Instead, Turkish speakers were considered to be a part of the Muslim millet. You can look up some Turkish history on other Wikipedia articles for references. 76.10.141.243 ( talk) 18:47, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
There is no such thing as Turkish tea, neither in history nor in reality. The concept of Turkish tea is unsourced, for a good reason. Don't add fillers to the article that are unrelated. -- 92slim ( talk) 05:39, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

I am planning on making some changes to the article in the coming weeks. I am hoping to expand the domestic production section and rewrite and write material regarding the economics of tea. I will add subsections such as trade and impacts of covid-19. I hope to add a politics of tea section and zoom in on the current and past governments' relations with tea. I hope to add more to the tea-drinking ritual section and talk about tea gardens and kiraathane's more and how they are evolving with the shifting demographics of Turkey. Finally, I want to touch on the consumption of tea in this section. All the aforementioned suggestions will be from up-to-date sources which I believe will hone this article to be more relevant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yc7718 ( talk • contribs) 02:50, 29 November 2021 (UTC) Yc7718 ( talk) 13:04, 29 November 2021 (UTC)Ycc718
