Default Russian tea glasses.

Hi all.

I've heard that in Russia it's tradition to drink tea from some sort of glass.
Does anyone know what these look like?

What kind of tea does people drink in Russia? Are there any other traditions
connected with it?

Absolutely agree. And Iceland does have one of the highest rates of
alcoholism in the world I think.

Tea from samovar is always boiling hot. It does not cool down fast in large
teacups. If you put it in a saucer it cools down.
