çaydanlık
A çaydanlık is a traditional Turkish teapot used for brewing and serving tea, known as çay. It consists of two stacked kettles: the lower kettle is for boiling water, while the upper kettle is used to steep the tea leaves. This design allows for a strong tea concentrate to be made, which can be diluted with hot water from the lower kettle to suit individual preferences.
Typically made from materials like stainless steel or copper, the çaydanlık is an essential item in Turkish culture, symbolizing hospitality and social gatherings. It is often used during family gatherings or when hosting guests, reflecting the importance of tea in Turkish traditions.
