"Pera'da Çay Saati" 

In this episode of the Yeditepe University Folklore Club Podcast series, we explore the tea time culture that became widespread in Pera starting in the second half of the 19th century.

This ritual, which entered daily life under British and French influence, created a cosmopolitan social environment where people of different faiths, languages, and lifestyles came together. In the Ottoman Empire, where coffee traditionally took center stage, tea emerged as a new means of socializing as Western influence grew.
