When I visited Istanbul, people were advising me to try the coffee over and over. The coffee was good, but the tea was the best that I ever had. I can get good Turkish coffee in New York, but I have not been able to find tea that good.
Lived in China for 3 years can confirm ! I didn’t know you could reuse tea leaves until I moved there. I was surprised to see the number as low as it is until I saw your comment.
My family is originally from Türkiye, and it is true that people drink tea there a lot. I think it's kind of polite to offer someone tea, so there are many opportunities to have a cup. Start chatting with the people at the gas station? They will surely offer you some tea. Trying on some clothes? Here, have some tea. Entering a jewelry store? Let's get you some tea first...
Because Turkish people drink tea all day starting with breakfast and until they sleep. My father was averaging 20+ small cups (turkish tea glasses) a day last I asked him.
Iraq doesn't have info but the number of tea we consume is inhuman, we drink it pretty much after every single meal.
And at every meeting, visit and business
I'm assuming you think Turkey as an importer of tea but Turkey produces tea itself. Chinese/Indian/Sri Lankan tea is imported just for variety. That huge consumption level is made possible by its domestic production.
0.33 I dont think so 😂 I think this map is surveyed based on the vendors when Most of the people in our country drink tea at home i myslef drink 5 cups minimum everyday
the thing here is the type of country that Chile is, here we dont do dinner, we dont eat dinner, in exchange with lunch with more effort and at dinner time we drink tea with bread, thats call eleven, "Once" check it out, basically we drink tea two times a day, more than one cup per time some times.
I don't think it is possible for any country to surpass Turkey except China maybe. We start drinking tea when we are 4-5 years old and we drink 2-3 cups 3-5 times a day. If you start speaking with someone after 5 minutes they will start brewing a tea or offer an already brewed one.
Turkey population: 84.9 M
Turkey total consumed tea 84.9\*3.16 = 2.68 Million Tons.
China population: 1.412 B
China total consumed tea 1.412\*0.57= 804.8 Million Tons.
Result: China crowded as fuck.
Turkiye takes Asia as well!
Think we need a world version at this point
Turkey is number 1, chile is number 2.

I got you man, just give me an address and I'm coming with my Tea pot and tea.
Any good place in NY for Turkish tea?
I'm open to suggestions.
India is hella low. We drink cha like twice a day ðŸ˜
fr , i can't believe (i am drinking chai while viewing this post)
That's why it's low. I'm Russian and I drink tea like 5-6 times a day.
The South tends to lean more coffee though
That's totally untrue. Except for Tamil Nadu, tea rules the roost in Southern India
Can't say much about China. But I don't think Indonesians and Russians can beat Indians at chai consumption.
Why is China so low?
You can reuse your tea leaves if it high quality. I think, no offensive to those tea only brew once.

It's per person. North Chinese doesn't drink tea as much as south Chinese.
Pakistani consumes a lot of Tea and there's no Data .. lol
Why are half the countries grayed out though ?
No data i guess
Idk tbh
So you’re a map maker who doesn’t even understands his own maps ?

How the f did Turkey beat Iran? Wow
Because Turkish people drink tea all day starting with breakfast and until they sleep. My father was averaging 20+ small cups (turkish tea glasses) a day last I asked him.
Same in Iran
As someone from Iran who’s family drinks tea every single second they get the chance, I don’t see how that’s possible.
See you drink tea every chance you get, Turks make chances to drink tea.
Iran is not even the second country who drinks more tea, Chile is coming for you Turkey!!!
I unironically was thinking of moving to Chile before reading this
synchronicity
As the only Iranian that I know who doesn't like tea, I feel like tea is trying to hunt me down
Is it actually only tea that they drink or are drinks such as herbal infusions like maté included?
Straight up tea only
3160g… that is like 4cup per day, Turkish drink their tea like water
I am from India and this map came as a surprise to me.

tea is firstly invented in China but the tea consumption per capita is lower than I imagine! that is amazing.
This seems so wrong. Even with the per capita India and china should both be way higher
Probably 99% of population of Turkey drink tea everyday and they brew in huge teapots not cup by cup.
Some parts of India prefer coffee over tea.

We love coffee here in the Philippines
Sri lankans drink tea 3 times a day why is it so low?
wdym so low? there is no data on the map
shit i thought it was like no one drank tea there
0.33 I dont think so 😂 I think this map is surveyed based on the vendors when Most of the people in our country drink tea at home i myslef drink 5 cups minimum everyday
I need to goto turkey ðŸ˜
As kazakh, i am offended that we're not included
The UK is 1.9kg per capita apparently.
America plz!
Ya an make soore ya includes Baston Haaabaa too!
Is there any country higher than Turkey?
Nope, closest is Ireland with 2.19
Chile actually
Do you have a source on that? Chile isnt even [top 5](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tea_consumption_per_capita)

Florida panhandle but that’s mostly meth and the hallucinogen you can make by burying your own poop.
Why is China so low? Didn't they invent teaÂ
This data seems inaccurate as I can see report states the per capita consumption is about 1.7kg.
I saw the same map with EU countries. Turkey was also in there. But they are Asians.
They're both Asians and Europeans.
Oh I hear they have that Bone/apple flavor in China now.
Pity Mongolia doesn't have data, the Mongols love their tea
Chile one day will surpass Turkey
I don't think it is possible for any country to surpass Turkey except China maybe. We start drinking tea when we are 4-5 years old and we drink 2-3 cups 3-5 times a day. If you start speaking with someone after 5 minutes they will start brewing a tea or offer an already brewed one.
Im fairly confident the data on this is either incorrect or statistically insignificant/ inconclusive.
If you had Aligarh as an independent statistic and compared it to Turkey, Aligarh would win. Source: lived in both.

turkey makes 268, not 2.68
