Coffee in BAKU
First of all one fact first: Tea is more common to be consumed then coffee in Baku. The chai is very tasteful and just some change in composition like the addition of some flowers change the taste into a whole different direction. While drinking the tea, black, some with a bitter note, you can eat some sweet cherry compot. The combination of the lightly bitter and sweet cherry taste is awesome and a lot of times we had more chai then coffee in our stay. The traditional way is to drink it made out of a samovar.
The tea is served in a pear-shaped glass (armudu) to keep it warm in the bottom while the surface can cool down faster in order to drink it.
