The centerpiece of that table is not the food but the teapot that arrives after the meal: the vessel that signals the evening is continuing, that there is more warmth to come. The Avangarde in black and gold — 135.3 oz, granite-coated aluminum, Ottoman engraving detail — is built for exactly that role. For Nasrin's Nowruz table or any occasion where the tea service itself should make a statement, this is the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNote: compatible with gas and electric stovetops only — not suitable for induction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrowse our full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/turkish-coffee-tea\"\u003eTurkish teapot collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 135.3 oz\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black \u0026amp; gold with Ottoman engraving\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible with:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gas and electric only\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Iftar · Eid · Nowruz · statement tea service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCurated by Rootsware · Crafted in Anatolia\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Selected This Piece\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Rootsware, we carry Turkish double teapots because the two-vessel system is not a design choice — it is the only correct way to brew Turkish tea. The lower kettle heats the water; the upper pot steeps the concentrated tea. Every household in Turkey has one. We selected Korkmaz and similar quality-tier sets because they hold temperature properly, balance well on the stovetop, and are built to last years of daily use — not just to look good in a product photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Brew Turkish Tea\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFill the lower kettle with water and bring to a boil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdd 1 tablespoon of loose black tea per cup to the upper teapot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePour a small amount of boiling water over the tea leaves to moisten them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlace the upper teapot on top of the lower kettle and reduce to low heat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteep for 15–20 minutes.

For a family of 4–6: a standard set (2–2.5 L lower). For hosting guests: choose the largest available — Turkish tea sessions can last hours and refills are expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it on an induction stove?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSome sets in this collection are induction compatible, others are not. Check the product specifications.

Strong, tannic, and brewed concentrated. Earl Grey and similar teas do not produce the same result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does Turkish tea taste different from regular tea?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe double-brewing method produces a concentrate that is then diluted to preference at the glass — giving each person control over strength. The long steep time (15–20 min) at low heat extracts more depth than a short steep at high temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I know when the tea is ready?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe color of the concentrate in the upper pot should be deep amber to dark red-brown. If it looks pale, steep longer. If it tastes bitter, you steeped too long or used too much tea.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rootsware","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51916777652522,"sku":"H9347","price":71.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/6360\/1194\/files\/AvangardeGraniteTeapotMain.png?v=1782267638","url":"https:\/\/rootsware.com\/products\/granite-turkish-teapot-set-black-gold-135oz","provider":"Rootsware","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
