Mugs – Page 7

Turkish design mugs for the first tea of the morning and the coffee that goes cold during a long call home. Choose an 11 oz white ceramic mug, a cone-shaped 12 oz ceramic latte mug or a 12 oz enamel camp mug. You will also find 20 oz insulated tumblers with a lid and a straw.

Many of the sayings come straight from the kitchen table. Çay bahane, muhabbet şahane says tea is only the excuse and the conversation is the real treat. Çay koy, geliyorum means “Put the tea on, I’m coming.” Yemek yedin mi? asks “Have you eaten?”, which families often say to show they care. Nazar Değmesin shows the blue nazar bead from a Turkish folk belief; see all our evil eye gifts. The Roots & Talks characters have their own mugs too.

A mug is an easy gift for a grandmother who keeps the kettle warm or a cousin who moved abroad. Browse more Turkish tea gifts, or read what these Turkish sayings mean.

Questions about our Turkish design mugs

Are these Turkish tea glasses or coffee cups? No. They are everyday mugs with Turkish designs.

Can they go in the dishwasher? The 11 oz ceramic mugs and the 12 oz latte mugs are dishwasher and microwave safe. The enamel camp mugs and the tumblers are hand-wash only.

Will tea stain the enamel mug? It can. Tea, coffee and juice can leave marks on enamel over time, which is normal for this material.
