Double Turkish Teapot Set — Korkmaz Riva, 4 Color Options

Korkmaz riva double turkish teapot — 4 color options: red, rose, turquoise, beige

The Riva is Korkmaz's most colorful çaydanlık — the teapot for kitchens that do not want to blend into the background. Four options: Red, Rose, Turquoise, and Beige. Each brings a different energy to the stovetop; the red is bold and traditional, the rose is soft and warm, the turquoise has a distinctly Mediterranean character, and the beige is the neutral option for those who want color without commitment.

Under the color, it is the same Korkmaz stainless steel construction — reliable, well-built, and designed for daily stovetop use. The Riva is the set you choose when the teapot is visible from the table and you want it to say something about the kitchen it belongs to.

Complete your colorful setup with one of our Turkish tea glass sets.

Why We Selected This Piece

At 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.

How to Brew Turkish Tea

1. Fill the lower kettle with water and bring to a boil.
2. Add 1 tablespoon of loose black tea per cup to the upper teapot.
3. Pour a small amount of boiling water over the tea leaves to moisten them.
4. Place the upper teapot on top of the lower kettle and reduce to low heat.
5. Steep for 15–20 minutes. The steam from below keeps the concentrate warm.
6. To serve: pour concentrate first, then dilute with hot water from the lower kettle to taste.

Turkish tea is always served strong by default — guests add water to their own preference.

Care & Cleaning

• Hand-wash with mild soap and warm water after each use.
• Do not use abrasive scrubbers on the polished stainless surface.
• To remove tea staining inside the upper pot, fill with water and a tablespoon of white vinegar and bring to a simmer.
• Dry thoroughly before storing to prevent water spots.
• Compatible with gas, electric coil, and induction stovetops (check product listing for induction compatibility).

Frequently Asked Questions

What size should I choose?
For 1–2 people: a small set (1–1.5 L lower). 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.

Can I use it on an induction stove?
Some sets in this collection are induction compatible, others are not. Check the product specifications. If no induction mention appears, assume gas and electric only.

What tea should I use?
Traditional 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.

Why does Turkish tea taste different from regular tea?
The 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.

How do I know when the tea is ready?
The 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.
