Guest guest Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I wish.... The supplier I was using is a local chinese grocery. I was...using caykur spezial tea. They are no longer seeming to stock it. I have asked, they say it's ordered....still no tea. Bad thing about this is... not only was I using it for my KT but my wife and I have really!!!! developed a taste for this as a hot tea. The taste is wonderful!!!! So.... out of desperation I bought some " Ceylon Red " " opa " also makes a very good tea.....I hope to find the caykur... again soon.....

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Hi Don and Lois, There are some Turkish online stores you can buy tea ,also you may be able to find a turkish store depending on where you live. Like in NJ I go to one in Cranburry, and there are many in and NYC. If you need help locating one in your area, I can help to find if there is one... Below are 2 Turkish online stores: Gul Holmdel, NJ http://www.istanbulsupermarket.com/index.php?osCsid=15f7a96c187c99446b4bdb67e38b\ b62f & manufacturers_id=45 & osCsid=15f7a96c187c99446b4bdb67e38bb62f ----------------- http://www.turkishcorner.com/SearchResults.asp?mfg=CAYKUR kombucha tea@...: bosseringme@...: Wed, 20 Feb 2008 20:43:53 +0000Subject: Re: Turkish Tea (Rize?)

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Gul -- How thoughtful! Thank you. Would you consider one of these sources over the other? Do you make kombucha with Rize or the other Caykur teas? If I understand correctly, there are no sprays on the plants themselves and nothing added to the teas. In looking for Rize, I found that wikipedia has a small and interesting article on the area of Turkey where the tea is grown and even ran across a tea blog <http://100percenttea.blogspot.com/2007/07/turkish-tea.html> created by a Croatian professor -- who has included a kombucha how-to from YouTube. Fun. When I start making KT with Rize, I'll be thinking of you and of Don -- Blessings!

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Lois, I have not shopped from any of those site. And I am not using Tukish tea either. Rize is a city in the eastern Blacksea Region. Caykur is a government owned (I believe it still is owned by Turkish Government)leading tea company in Turkey. On an internet site (which was in Turkish ) it says that they do not use any chemical spraying in the northern part of Turkey for farming. So Tea should be safe too. I hope this helps:) Greetings from NJ Gul ________________________________ kombucha tea From: bosseringme@... Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2008 23:51:09 +0000 Subject: Re: Turkish Tea (Rize?)
