Where most modern çaydanlık sets aim for a sleek, uniform stainless finish, the Korkmaz Retro introduces a different sensibility: a design that references the older, warmer aesthetic of traditional Turkish kitchen tools. Available in two handle options — a natural wooden handle and a rose-colored handle — each version brings a different character to the stovetop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe wooden handle version has the handcrafted warmth of a piece that does not try to look industrial. The rose handle version is the softer, more colorful option — the one that stands out on a breakfast table. Both are the same Korkmaz stainless steel quality underneath, built to last and easy to maintain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eComplete the setup with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/turkish-coffee-tea\"\u003eTurkish tea glass sets\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wooden · Rose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Korkmaz — Retro\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double teapot (çaydanlık)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stovetop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCurated by Rootsware · Crafted in Turkey\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).

Check the product specifications. If no induction mention appears, assume gas and electric only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat tea should I use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTraditional Turkish tea uses fine black tea from the Rize region of Turkey — Çaykur is the most recognized brand. 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":"Wooden","offer_id":51916610797866,"sku":"A196","price":128.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rose","offer_id":51916610830634,"sku":"A195","price":74.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/6360\/1194\/files\/korkmaz-retro-ahsap-caydanlik-takimi-a196-caydanlik-5239-74-B.jpg?v=1782267375","url":"https:\/\/rootsware.com\/products\/korkmaz-retro-turkish-teapot-wooden-handle","provider":"Rootsware","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
