Did you know that Tea was introduced to Russia in 1638, when a Mongolian ruler gifted Tsar Michael I a shipment of tea leaves.

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

The French mastered the art of blends. My favorite by them is Rushka. And you can’t buy it abroad 😥

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.
