Tea and Biscuits – Part 1

Tea and Biscuits: Discover the Best Combination

Just as bean stew and rice, döner kebab and ayran, and Tom and Jerry are inseparable pairs, when it comes to tea, many of us think of biscuits. According to our public opinion survey, 80% of tea lovers consume biscuits by dipping them in their tea. So, to prevent you from making a mess while dipping your biscuits, we conducted a test and wanted to share the results with our valued tea drinkers.

Our test currently covers 5 different types of biscuits available on shelves in Türkiye. We used 4 different criteria in our study:

  • Recommended immersion time
  • Degradation time in tea
  • Maximum immersion time for accident-free eating.
  • Recommended total meal time

1. Ülker Petit Beurre

Ülker Pötibör has held the title of the most consumed biscuit with tea for years. But is it a good option for dipping in tea? Here are the test results:

Recommended Immersion Time 1.5 seconds
Degradation Time in Tea 6.09 seconds
Maximum Immersion Time for Accident-Free Cooking 2.5 seconds
Recommended Total Meal Time 5.06 seconds

Our test table's most classic guest is Ülker Pötibör. We congratulate Ülker Pötibör for achieving quite competitive results for its size.

Our rating for Ülker Pötibör: 8/10

2. Eti Burçak

With its delicious taste and oat content, Eti Burçak is a favorite among tea lovers, but it's a biscuit that needs to be consumed quickly. Here are the test results:

Recommended Immersion Time 1 second
Degradation Time in Tea 3 seconds
Maximum Immersion Time for Accident-Free Cooking 1.5 seconds
Recommended Total Meal Time 2.54 seconds

Eti Burçak is a flavor that has the potential to become a classic. However, you should be careful; if you let it sit for too long, you might make a mess.

Our rating for Eti Burçak: 7/10

3. Ülker Saklıköy Milk Cream

Ülker Saklıköy Milk Cream Biscuits, one of the new generation of cream-filled biscuits, are not ideal for dipping in tea. Here are the test results:

Recommended Immersion Time 2.5 seconds
Degradation Time in Tea 13.3 seconds
Maximum Immersion Time for Accident-Free Cooking 8.15 seconds
Recommended Total Meal Time 5.97 seconds

The cream, which is difficult to melt, can cause the biscuit to completely fall apart. It's best enjoyed with tea.

Our rating for Ülker Saklıköy Milk Cream Dessert: 5/10

4. Feast Biscolata Starz Sandwich

A favorite among chocolate lovers, this biscuit leaves a pleasant taste when dipped in tea. Here are the test results:

Recommended Immersion Time 1.57 seconds
Degradation Time in Tea 8.15 seconds
Maximum Immersion Time for Accident-Free Cooking 3.89 seconds
Recommended Total Meal Time 5.04 seconds

The thinness of the biscuit might not perfectly complement the tea flavor. However, it's a sweet alternative for chocolate lovers.

Our rating for Şölen Biscolata Starz: 5/10

5. Eti Burçak Cocoa Creamy

Eti Burçak's cocoa version is an ideal biscuit to have with tea. Here are the test results:

Recommended Immersion Time 2.2 seconds
Degradation Time in Tea 5.3 seconds
Maximum Immersion Time for Accident-Free Cooking 3 seconds
Recommended Total Meal Time 4.1 seconds

Provided you don't leave them in the tea for too long, it's a fairly balanced biscuit.
