Russians like tea – level 1
28-10-2025 15:00
Some people in Russia drink tea again. They drink less coffee because coffee comes from the West.
A man named Andrei has tea shops. The name of his shops is Nitka. He wants people to drink tea like long ago, before big changes in Russia. In his shops, people can sit, talk, and feel warm.
Many people in Russia drink tea at home with jam and lemon. Some tea comes from China and Georgia. It is not easy to buy tea from other countries now. Russians like tea because it feels more Russian.
Difficult words: tea shop (a small place where people can drink tea and sometimes eat cakes or snacks), lemon (a yellow fruit with a sour taste).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
Which two ingredients do many people in Russia add to their tea at home?
