? Ukrainians' unique tea drinking custom

Ukrainians' love for tea cannot be ignored, even in turbulent times. They sat in a tent with a cup of hot Ukrainian tea in their hands and took a sip from time to time to keep out the cold. The unique tea drinking custom of Ukrainians is also amazing.

Ukrainians like to drink tea, and they can even say that they are unhappy without tea. Ukrainians began to taste tea in the17th century, when Ukraine was merged by tsarist Russia. According to historical records, 1679 Russia and China signed the first tea purchase contract. At that time, the price of tea was very expensive, and tea was an oriental god drink that only a few upper-class people could enjoy, so tea tasting once became a symbol of status and wealth.

Tea really entered the homes of ordinary people at the end of/kloc-0 and the beginning of 2009. At that time, someone put tea in a big teapot and then sold it along the street. People can have a drink in the street at any time. Before that, Ukrainians mainly drank honey water, herbal tea and Gowasu. But since I came into contact with tea, I can't live without it anymore.

Different from tea tasting in China, Ukrainians do not directly pour tea into teacups or teapots, but brew a Zahoual card, namely a tea opener. The so-called tea foundation is very strong tea. When drinking tea, first pour a little tea base into the teacup, then unscrew the tap on the teapot, pour boiling water to dilute the strong tea, and add sugar and lemon slices to drink.

Interestingly, the real way to taste tea in Ukraine is not with teacups, but with small plates. Because the weather is cold, if you drink tea with a small plate, the steam formed by boiling tea will come out of your face, which is very pleasant. When drinking tea, the water in the teapot is always on, because they think the best tea must be boiled tea.

Ukrainians taste tea, which is rich in refreshments, such as chocolate, jam, honey, cakes and biscuits. Sometimes balsam, brandy or whisky are added to enhance the mellow taste of tea.
