ÇAYKUR Altınbaş Premium Black Tea 500g

Enjoy the authentic taste of Türkiye with ÇAYKUR Altınbaş Premium Black Tea 500g, one of the finest black teas produced by ÇAYKUR. This premium blend is carefully crafted from the youngest golden tea buds (Altınbaş) and the most tender tea leaves harvested from the renowned tea gardens of Rize, located on Türkiye's eastern Black Sea coast.

The result is a beautifully balanced black tea with a rich aroma, brilliant ruby-red infusion and a smooth, refined taste that appeals to true tea enthusiasts.

Why Is It Called "Altınbaş"?

The name "Altınbaş", meaning "Golden Tip", refers to the youngest and most valuable buds found at the top of the tea plant.

These premium golden buds provide:

• A richer natural aroma
• A smoother and more delicate flavour
• A bright ruby-red infusion
• Exceptional quality through careful hand selection

Because only the finest young shoots are used, ÇAYKUR Altınbaş is considered one of the brand's most prestigious black tea varieties.

Tea from One of the World's Few Snow-Covered Tea Gardens

Turkish tea is unlike most teas in the world because of its unique growing environment.

The tea gardens of Rize are among the few commercial tea-growing regions in the world where tea plantations are naturally covered with snow every winter.

This natural snowfall provides several important benefits:

• Tea plants enter a natural dormant period.
• Many pests are naturally reduced.
• Less reliance on chemical pesticides.
• Healthier young shoots emerge in spring.

Combined with abundant rainfall, clean mountain air and fertile soil, these unique conditions give Turkish tea its clean flavour, rich aroma and exceptional quality.
