Tea Glasses Set of 6 — 5 Oz

tea glasses set of 6 — 5 oz, for everyday turkish tea

The 5 oz tea glass is the everyday glass in Leyla's kitchen — the size that gets used every morning, the size that her kids can hold without spilling, the size that works for both a quick cup before work and a slow weekend morning. Six glasses cover the standard household requirement: enough for the family plus one or two guests, without the formality of a larger set.

Why We Selected This Piece

At Rootsware, we carry Turkish tea glasses and coffee cups because the vessel matters. The narrow-waist tulip glass concentrates the aroma. The small coffee cup keeps the concentrate from cooling. We selected these because they are the objects that have been on Turkish and Middle Eastern tea tables for generations — not because they are trendy, but because they work.

Care & Cleaning

• Hand-wash with warm water and mild soap. Glass pieces are delicate — avoid stacking directly.
• Do not place cold glass into hot water — thermal shock can crack thin glass.
• For tea staining: soak in warm water with white vinegar, then rinse.
• Metal saucers and holders: wipe with a damp cloth, polish occasionally.
• Porcelain cups: dishwasher safe on the top rack, but hand-washing extends the life of decorative details.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the correct size for a Turkish tea glass?
Traditional Turkish tea glasses hold 3.5-5 oz (100-150 ml). Never fill to the brim — leave space at the top.

How many glasses do I need?
A set of 6 is the traditional hosting size. Turkish hospitality means serving all guests simultaneously.

What is the traditional way to serve Turkish tea?
On a tray, with a sugar bowl alongside. Two-thirds concentrate, one-third hot water from the kettle. Guests adjust to preference.

Can I use these in the microwave?
No. Glass tea glasses with metal rims or holders should not go in the microwave.

Dishwasher safe?
Hand-wash recommended for all decorative glass pieces.
