Ruby TuesdayBack from Is*tanbul, where I had many of these small glasses of tea...
Updated, because inquiring minds want to know...
- this is the traditional way to serve tea: in a tea glass placed on a saucer. The painted saucer seems to be the very traditional one, see here.
- It was black tea, very much the way I like it. I didn't find it too strong and I could drink it black (no sugar) as I always do with my teas. Turkish people always add sugar!!
Geez, that looks so real on my screen, that I just want to drink it ! beautiful picture !
ReplyDeleteWelcome Back!
ReplyDeleteLove the tablecloth! Is it customary to serve the tea glass in a saucer? That's a new one for me.
As always - an elegant image!
It looks delicious, what was in it, was it mint tea?
ReplyDeleteI love the little spoon. Did you happen to bring one home for me? ;)
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot I love it. Must be a lot better than Lipton!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteYou have such a way with that camera that you have made that tea three dimensional. Just a lovely photo.
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing well.
Hugs,
I too do not like tea sweetened. Any way, any how!!
ReplyDeleteMy R T is posted. Scroll down below my Tuesday's Heads or Tails...it's eerie. Also, there is a new trick or treat treat for you on my sidebar if you'd like to grab and run with it!! CLICK HERE
Looks yummy...perfect to take the chill out of you!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite drink. Tea! Nothing like a good cup!
ReplyDeleteYes please! No sugar for me either, thank you! What a pretty little setting that is!
ReplyDeleteDD & I recently went to Celestial Seasonings...our local tea factory. I need to get some of those saucers...that's a pretty way to serve tea and it gives you a place to set the spoon instead of on the table cloth.
ReplyDeleteOh, my husband is a tea addict!
ReplyDeletePlease take a peek on my first Ruby Tuesday entry. Seeyah!
Oh, that's such a wonderful photo. I love the matching colors, how the glass is placed on the pattern on the table etc. Wonderful!
ReplyDelete...and you just made me more interested in going to Istanbul :-)
Agree 100% with Gattina. That photo makes you just want to go straight and drink it.
ReplyDeleteMar, you have a pretty saucer. I will have to try putting glasses on saucers. And your red table cloth is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHappy RT. Thank you for your visit and nice comment. We like our daughter and granddaughter a whole lot.

I agree with Gattina, I could take a drink now. Great photo.
ReplyDeleteAwesome shot! I think I'm going to make some tea now.
ReplyDeletePaz ;-)
I like the table top's design. i do drink that black tea with sugar:) My RT is up too.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the "glass of tea".....many Religious Jews drink it that way, too---a rememberence of 'the old country'....
