Although China and India are the leaders of tea production in the world, but from the consumption point of view facts tell another story.

Indeed, the leading countries in tea consumption per capita, are Turkey, Ireland, United Kingdom, Iran and Russia.

Although drinking tea in countries like Iran, Turkey goes back to early 20^th century, however the popularity of tea soon formed a culture around it.

Today, tea is part of the hospitality culture in the countries next to the Caspian Sea.

Even though, now tea might be offered in any kind of cup or glass or even mugs, however, the traditional ritual of drinking tea in these countries is drinking it from “slim-waisted glass”.

While in Farsi and Turkish languages the name of the glass literary means slim-waisted, in Azerbaijan, it is called “Pear-shape glass”.

Unlike eastern countries where tea is prepared by pouring hot water to it and waiting for a while, in Russia, Iran, Turkey and nearby countries, tea is prepared by boiling water in a large teapot. Then adding some of it to the tea in a smaller teapot and leaving the second teapot on top of the larger one for a while to “brew”.

Later some of the tea is diluted by hot water in a glass to the taste of the tea connoisseur, depending on whether he prefers a dark tea or a light tea.

The method of preparing tea in this way justifies the shape of “slim-waisted-glass” used to serve the tea.

These glasses are hold from their rims and that prevents the fingers of the person to be scorched, as the rim does not get too hot.

Additionally, it has been said that unlike normal cups where the hot drink gets cold evenly, in the “slim-waisted-glass”, the tea gets cooler in the top portion of the glass while keeping the bottom part hot.
