Every time I visit a shop in Kadıköy I'm offered çay. I love tea but I literally cannot drink another one. What's a polite way to say no that won't come across as cold?

"Teşekkür ederim, şu an içmek istemiyorum" is polite and clear. A warm "sağ olun" + a smile makes it friendly. Decline with both hands loosely raised — locals read that as "thanks, I'm fine" without any offense.
