As an Indonesian, you are certainly no stranger to a variety of spices. Apart from being a country with a large variety of spices, Indonesian cuisine is also famous for using a lot of spices with spices.
So, during a trip to Turkey a while ago, I was not surprised that there were so many spice sellers in the gift shop that we visited.
This also happens with a variety of herbal teas in Indonesia such as: ginger tea, ginseng tea, chamomlie tea, roselle tea, chrysanthemum flower tea, etc.
However, there is a herbal tea that I tasted for the first time when I visited Turkey.
Sultan Tee
When viewed from the appearance, this is like ordinary tea with a dark brown color, but if you inhale from the aroma, it is very different.
The Sultan Tee I tasted was a blend of red rosebuds. pink rosebuds, white jasmine, also mallow.
However, tea brewers add Eucalyptus tee which makes the aroma of this tea very fresh. That afternoon the weather was cold, and with this cup of sultan tee exstra eucalyptus, my nostrils and throat felt very comfortable.
If you like it sweet, you can add a little honey to the tea. In this shop, not only selling this one type of herbal tea, there are also eucalypus tee at a price of TL-60/100 gr, Apple tee TL-30/100gr, Mango Tee TL-30/100gr Lemon Mint Tee TL-70/100gr, and Sultan Tee TL-70/100gr.
In addition to herbal teas from various fruits, there are also spices for Meat seasoning at a price of TL-70/100gr, and there are many dozens of other spices that can be found here.

Bonus Stories About Opium Seed
For the Turkish state, Opium is one type of legal agriculture and is under government supervision. The Opium agricultural sector cannot be harvested arbitrarily and misused. This is because, only the seeds of the poppy can be used and utilized in the food and medical sectors.
Opium sap is very illegal to be consumed and traded. Therefore, if there are farmers who abuse the opium sap, the government will not hesitate to punish the farmers and burn the opium fields belonging to the farmers.
And I got a chance to taste poppy seeds by spending TL-25 in the same shop I bought Sultantee.
So I took a photo of the dried poppy fruit, but sorry, guys, the photo turned out to be blurry. I'm sorry I can't show it to you, guys.
And below are poppy seeds with plan yogurt and a little honey. Very delicious! I like it.
That's all the story about Sultan Tee from me. Wait for other stories, yes, guys.
