Turkish Tea Cup Set 6 Piece — Pasabahce Crystallin Beykoz, 5 Oz

Pasabahce crystallin beykoz turkish teacups — 6 piece, 5 oz, cups only

The 6-piece version of the Crystallin Beykoz — cups only, without saucers. At 5 oz, this version is slightly larger than the 4.5 oz cup-and-saucer set, making it the better choice for those who want a standard full serving in the Beykoz style without the additional saucer pieces.

The Crystallin Beykoz collection takes its name from the Ottoman-era glassblowing tradition of the Bosphorus shore in Istanbul. Crystal-clear glass with a light-catching clarity that elevates a simple cup of çay into something that feels considered. For households that already have saucers or prefer to mix and match, the 6-piece cups-only set is the practical option.

If you need the full set with saucers, see the Crystallin Beykoz 12-piece set. For teapots, browse our Turkish teapot sets.

Why We Selected This Piece

At 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.

Care & Cleaning

• Hand-wash with warm water and mild soap. Glass pieces are delicate — avoid stacking directly.
• Do not place cold glass directly into hot water or vice versa — thermal shock can crack thin glass.
• For tea staining: soak in warm water with a small amount of white vinegar, then rinse.
• Metal saucers and holders: wipe with a damp cloth. Polish occasionally with a soft cloth to maintain finish.
• Porcelain and ceramic cups: dishwasher safe on the top rack, but hand-washing extends the life of gold or silver 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). 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.

What is the difference between a Turkish coffee cup and an espresso cup?
Turkish 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.

Can I use these glasses in the microwave?
No. 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.

How many glasses do I need?
Turkish 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.

What is the traditional way to serve Turkish tea?
On 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.
