How to make Russian Tea
Trivia Tea in Russia was introduced in 1638 when a Mongolian ruler donated 65 - 70 kg of tea to Tsar Michael I. In the Soviet period, tea-drinking was extremely popular in the daily life of office workers (female secretaries, laboratory assistants, etc.). Tea brands of the time were nicknamed "the brooms" (Georgian) and "the tea with an elephant" (Indian). Tea was an immutable element of kitchen life among the intellectuals in 1960s-'70s. |
