Euronews highlights Azerbaijan's tea tradition
Baku, June 11, AZERTAC
Euronews channel has aired a video reportage highlighting Azerbaijan's tea tradition.
The reportage highlights the country's “deep” attachment to tea, “an almost sacred ritual that goes back centuries”.
"Strong black tea is served for almost every occasion, and a lot of it comes from the region of Lankaran-Astara in the south of the country," the reportage says.
The reportage says that it is the first picking of the season here on the local plantations, which lie between the Caspian Sea and the mountains, and where the subtropical climate and humidity are just right for growing tea.
“The leaves grown here are for domestic consumption, but they are also exported.”
“There are traditional tea houses all over Azerbaijan, where locals have a saying that when you drink tea, you don't count the cups.
“Azeris also pride themselves on the quality of their locally grown tea, saying it contains many benefits. There are a lot of minerals and vitamins and Lankaran tea is very good for the health of everybody," the reportage concludes.
