Did you know that Tea was introduced to Russia in 1638, when a Mongolian ruler gifted Tsar Michael I a shipment of tea leaves. humbletealeaf.com/russian-tea-cu…

@HistorianZhang @bryancsk Btw a lot of respect for Hong Kong tea culture wish I could visit one day

@bryancsk @TeaAndWar Whether you enjoy it depends entirely on what you bought and your bitter tolerance

Got a new Raw Puerh this weekend. From this spring.

@bryancsk I have both kinds, I wonder. I might break a piece and see. What do you recommend ?

@TeaAndWar Do you intend to try them so young? I always wondered if I would enjoy that

Climbing to harvest tea?

No idea why the Cossacks had a haircut like that but they for sure enjoyed tea.

@HistorianZhang lol yeah! It’s this place and they had a line around the block… I feel like I was robbed in plain sight

@TeaAndWar 100% foam plus some flower petals?

Now they just put some s^*+~ on the tea and justify an extra $5

This is Greek mountain tea by the way. Everyone I served it to, loved it so much.

@iconawrites It’s worth the visit. I’m preparing a post about them. Been reading their history book.

Even though I live in England where you can find all sorts of tea, my favourite blend is French. It’s the Marco Polo blend by Mariage Frères. They have a tea house in London which I often go to, but it was wonderful to visit the original shop in Paris.

@tongbingxue Thanks for stealing my research. Very Chinese of you. You could have reposted but nah..
