Guess which country is the biggest consumer of black tea? China? UK? No. Turkey is the biggest black tea consumer.
This is a Turkish tea glass. It is larger at the bottom and thinner at the middle. It has a special name which is "ince belli" (thin belly), attributed to woman body. The larger part fits in your palm and keeps you warm in cold weather. There should be always room left for holding the glass from the top after pouring the tea into the glass. This empty place is also known as lips share.
