Why does Turkish black tea takes so long to brew?

Fully oxidized tea leaves for a robust cup.

Why does Turkish black tea takes so long to brew?

I have Caykur brand loose leaf black tea which has 15 minutes brewing time. It's quite long compared to the Assam, Darjeeling or Ceylon teas. Is this related to type of tea or its processing methods?

I thought that it will only take about 10mins.
