Azerbaijan in every sip – Tea Tour

5 days / 4 nights

 

200 USD


Perhaps it is impossible to find an Azerbaijani who would not like tea ... Tea for Azerbaijanis, without exaggeration, is the main drink. Tea for us is not just a pleasant passtime, but also an important "action" that accompanies us throughout life. Tea is served on weekdays, and on holidays, and on joyful days of matchmaking, engagement, weddings, births of children, and for funerals and commemoration. Tea in Azerbaijan is not just a drink, but a symbol of hospitality. In any Azerbaijani house, the first thing the guest is  offered is tea. Feast begins with tea, and it ends with it.
