Whereas in Turkey if you're offered tea it's impolite to refuse. If you finish it, they will keep topping it up.

Indeed, in many cultures like Turkey and in my experience of India, people will insist that you take something, not expecting you to decline at all. It is seen as almost disrespectful or insulting to the host to decline, unless you explain a reason or decline after multiple times of asking.
