28. OUR FAVORİTE DRİNK
İS TEA
Tea in Azerbaijan is served freshly brewed, hot and
strong. It typically has a bright colour and is served
in crystal or any other glasses or cups. Azerbaijanis
often use traditional armudu (pear-shaped) glass.
Tea is served continuously when there are guests
or when there is an interesting conversation. For
Azerbaijanis tea with milk is uncommon. According
to a common belief, drinking tea with lump sugar
instead of sand sugar comes from the medieval
period, when rulers who were afraid of being
poisoned checked their tea by dunking a piece of
sugar in a beverage – it was believed that the
poison would react to the sugar).Traditional tea is
served with lemon, cube sugar sweets and fruit
desserts (not jam).Sometimes thyme, mint or rose
water is added, which is believed to be good for
the stomach and heart.
