The Azerbaijanis grow tea in the Lankaran-Astara region. It has a very special flavour. It is famous all over the world. All tourists have our national tea with great pleasure. We have tea for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We serve tea in “armudu” glass which is in the shape of a pear (pear shaped). Our people like to have tea mostly with lemon. We also enjoy tea with shakarbura, badambura, pakhlava and different kinds of sweets, as well as pastries.
