The Crystallin Beykoz collection from Pasabahce takes its name from that heritage — a crystal-clear glass with the kind of clarity and light-catching quality that distinguishes it from standard everyday glassware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 12-piece set includes six cups and six saucers — a complete service for six. At 4.5 oz, it sits in the traditional small-glass range: strong tea served in a small cup, finished quickly, refilled while it is still at the right temperature. A set that nods to the finest tradition of Turkish glassmaking while being entirely practical for daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eComplete your tea service with a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/turkish-coffee-tea\"\u003eTurkish double teapot set\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet includes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 cups + 6 saucers (12 pieces total)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.5 oz per cup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pasabahce — Crystallin Beykoz collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crystal-clear glass\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 tea glasses and coffee cups because the vessel matters. Tea served in the wrong glass changes how it is experienced — the narrow-waist tulip glass that concentrates the aroma, the small coffee cup that keeps the concentrate from cooling, the metal saucer that carries heat properly. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Cleaning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHand-wash with warm water and mild soap.

The narrow waist is not decorative — it keeps your fingers away from the hot liquid while holding the rim. Turkish tea is never poured to the brim; leave space at the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between a Turkish coffee cup and an espresso cup?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTurkish coffee cups (2–3 oz \/ 60–90 ml) are similar in size to espresso cups but are typically rounder and shorter. The small size is intentional — Turkish coffee is concentrated and served in small amounts, with the grounds settling at the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use these glasses in the microwave?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. Glass tea glasses with metal rims or holders should not go in the microwave. Plain glass without metal accents can be microwaved briefly, but these sets are designed for stovetop-brewed tea, not reheating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many glasses do I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTurkish hospitality means serving all guests simultaneously — a set of 6 is the traditional hosting size. Sets of 2 are for personal use. If you regularly host, a 6-piece set is the right starting point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the traditional way to serve Turkish tea?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOn a tray, with a sugar bowl alongside (sugar is never stirred in — it is held between the teeth or placed on the saucer). The glass is filled two-thirds with concentrate, one-third with hot water from the kettle. Guests adjust to their own preference.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rootsware","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51916771295530,"sku":"98961","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/6360\/1194\/files\/98961main.jpg?v=1782267629","url":"https:\/\/rootsware.com\/products\/turkish-tea-cup-set-12-piece-crystal-beykoz","provider":"Rootsware","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
