The Team
In Cuba you do not usually drink much tea, I imagine it is because of the hot climate, the fact is that I have never seen or visited any tea house, although it is usually sold in some establishments, but it is not common, the common thing here is coffee, and cafes if there are many. There are also places where coffee is the protagonist and they specialize in serving a varied menu based on coffee.
Cubans are very fond of black nectar, as it is also called. So my preference would be a coffee shops.
It seems to me that tea houses are not very popular in our Latin countries, since there is a strong influence of coffee in our cultures, I think so.
I really liked the souvenir and the message written on it. Apparently I'm one of those people who dreams a lot. Haha.
I leave you a cup of coffee for this day.☕
So it seems amiga, that tea houses in Latin America are almost nonexistent, and if they exist, they are hidden.... Hahaha
Thank you, yes, it seems that we have in common the lack of tea houses in our countries 😄☕.
The aroma of the coffee you left is Soo sweet 😊
I totally agree with you
You made me remember two things.
We have a saying here in Venezuela:
--I'm thirsty...
--Go to the beach for coffee!
Can you believe it? The heat won't prevent us from having hot coffee, friend.
When I was taking a basic French course, our teacher used a very old book, from the 1930s, I think. In one scene, the mother recommended to her son who was very thirsty to drink tea 🤦♀🤷♂
My thirst requires lots of fresh or cold water. Hot coffee is an error in the Matrix 😁
Undoubtedly that mug says it all, a coffee shop is the best option. Regards @jordy0827
Sure! ☕😄🤗
@jordy0827 my friend is that our tradition is coffee, producers and high consumers of coffee.
That's why we suffer when at home we don't have our ☕de coffee. 🌹❤️
As a good Cuban, coffee is what rulesHere in Venezuela it is the same, very few places in tea houses or where I have gone, I have not been able to see one. And we love strong coffee too 😋😋😋
Well, we have the same tastes and in that sense we Venezuelans and Cubans are alike.
Here, in Bulgaria, we don’t drink much tea either. Coffee is far more popular and I think it is the norm in our area of Europe. I think only in Turkey tea seems far more popular.
I would love to visit a coffee shop in Cuba!
So it seems that coffee is the global winner over tea.
Same with me too I will love to visit a coffee shop as well
@jordy0827 I get that about Cuba!
Jamaica is a big tea-drinking nation, but it would be rare to see a teahouse. Whereas, coffee shops and the coffee culture is booming there:)
No doubt in the Caribbean coffee seems to be more popular than tea 😄.
Same low consumption of tea or coffee is the main reason why there is little or no coffee shops in lagos, only few people consume coffee
I would feel out of place there. Of course, every country has its preferred beverages, in many places tea is preferred.
Your images are beautiful. I'm fascinated by the last one, that arrangement is inspiring 😍.
Thank you!
Greetings to all friends of cinnccf, I really liked the topic of this conversation because I am sure I will learn from all of you, I am Cuban and although in Cuba we like tea and other infusions, we have a strong coffee tradition. It is difficult to get to a house to visit and not be offered a cup of coffee, (today I do not assure you because we have many shortages) That is why there are more coffee shops than tea houses, in Old Havana as far as I know there is only one, while there are coffee shops on every corner. I think that's why I don't have many parameters to compare and choose. I love the atmosphere of the coffee shops and the varieties of coffee, depending on how I feel or the objective I have, I go to one or another, if I want to be quiet or if I am going to share with friends. I greatly enjoy the cafés in Habana Vieja, contemplating its streets, its architecture, the music and in short, the whole environment makes me feel very good.
It will be an interesting experience for me to visit a coffee shop in Havana. Cuba is so far away from me and I’m sure it will be a greatly different experience!
I hope you can come, I'm sure you would love it🤗🌹☕
You share a beautiful photo of your city. It is wonderful to be able to find so many coffee shops in one area. There must be a lot of diversity among so many coffee shops.
I leave you a cup of coffee for this day.☕
I am very pleased that you liked it, if you visit Cuba someday, try to know the historic center of the city is a World Heritage Site and you will see how picturesque and diverse its cafes. I receive with great pleasure that cup of coffee. I wish you a nice weekend.🤗☕
@osismi
❤️🌹🤗☕
I love the view. I would have a coffee while watching people pass by on this street. How beautiful!
I think the same happens here in Venezuela.
@marlyncabrera, yes really the environment is captivating. I think we Latinos are more addicted to Coffee, I would like to know about the rituals when serving tea.
By the way I love your cups and teapots.Thanks Marlyn for sharing. A hug 🤗
Ah, you're too kind! I always like a nice mug for my coffee--or tea. I enjoy seeing Japanese and Chinese ancient tea ceremonies. You can find a lot of this stuff on YouTube 💯
Hello beautiful
I also love coffee and going to a coffee shop to enjoy a good coffee
I didn't really know there were teahouses, I think that's great
@maleidamarcano Undoubtedly we are more given to the coffee culture. I agree with you that it would be very interesting to visit a tea house and learn about their rituals. Have a nice weekend my dear. A hug 🤗
Yes, it would be great to try a tea house, it would be phenomenal, to add experiences to our lives.
I make tea at home, different types of relaxing, medicinal, among others, but I have never visited a tea house.
🌹❤️🤗☕
Hello friend, I agree with you, here there are few tea houses, it is not the usual, however there are many coffee shops. The atmosphere of Old Havana is super special to enjoy a cup of coffee, excellent choice ☕😄☕.
Dear @jordy0827 we need to agree on some cuhiver and have a coffee around Habana Vieja. ☕
Yes, I like that
🌹❤️🥰
Of course, coffee rules the world... hahaha...
Greetings beautiful friend.
Sitting there to share a coffee with friends must be wonderful, I can imagine people chatting, laughing and enjoying a good coffee. Nice place 🤗
Here in Bulgaria tea houses are not something that can be found easily. This is maybe here we don’t have traditions and production of tea. Coffee on the other hand seems to be everywhere, although we don’t have coffee production as well. I think that coffee entered our country from Turkey about couple hundred years ago.
But! Thinking again about tea, I think that mountain huts are all sort of tea houses. You cannot find any white or black teas there, but every morning there is freshly brewed pot full of fresh mountain herbs. In a place where the ingredients are all around, you cannot miss the opportunity to enjoy a refreshing cup of tasty herbal tea.
So if I find a fancy tea house somewhere, I would gladly visit it, but until then I will stick to fancy coffee shops that can be found in every relatively big town!
It is our turn to enjoy what we have in our countries, apparently your country is a big coffee drinker. Let's enjoy our delicious coffee while we can, with or without company, working or studying, relax.
I leave you a cup of coffee for this day.☕
Surely, coffee is a lot more famous!
Your a coffee man no doubt! 😁
Herbal tea is something I prefer to have at home. In fact, I do it every day. But coffee has too strong a tradition here. There are things you can't escape. It's in your blood.
BTW, that coffee looks ooooh, delicious!
I know that coffee has a major role in daily life in your country. I didn’t know that herbal teas are that famous too, but well, after all herbs are all around us and they are the easiest to pick and prepare.
Of course I am a coffee man! And I don’t see this to change soon, but… who knows?
Hey, there #MrEngagement!
It's been a while since I got to join in on conversations, but it's always lovely to see you holding the floor 😍
Yeah, even here in the UK, teahouses are not so popular, even though it's a huge tea-drinking country... or maybe my eyes don't gravitate to them:)
Seems like the last two weeks were without my appearance at all, quite busy at work, working on Saturdays too… but now I am a little less engaged with job tasks!
Time for the community.
I think that the modern coffee movement is quite strong, leaving the tea drinking in the shadows. I am surprised that even in the UK there are no tea houses at all!
Coffee renaissance (modernism influenced) is on! And specialty coffees are gaining popularity worldwide…
I'm pleased you have a little ease, especially in these darker months.
Yeah, I'm sure there are teahouses, especially in more affluent areas. I've only been to one since living here, but I'd rather go to a coffee shop:)
From what I have been able to read, almost all of us agree that in our countries there are more cafeterias. Coffee is undoubtedly more famous.
This is for sure!
I agree with you friend, coffee is all over the world, there is no country where you can not drink a good cup of coffee, however tea, varies from culture and country, but it is true what you say, in the mountains, herbs abound to make a good cup of tea, so no excuses...
Best regards...
I am a lover of a good coffee and I love going to coffee shops to enjoy the different types of coffee.
I have not had the opportunity to visit a tea house here in Venezuela, nor do I know if there is, I know that there are cafes that serve tea, as well as restaurants.
But I really enjoy a coffee in a good cafeteria, alone or accompanied by friends or family, that it is well decorated and that the place is cozy, I enjoy the coffee to the fullest.
It's the same for me, here you drink a lot of coffee and there are many coffee shops, but I don't remember seeing any tea houses. It would be interesting to visit one.
I totally agree with you my friend, it would be fascinating to visit a tea house....
A big hug...
A beautiful place that you show us, it is certainly very nice to spend some time away from home in good company or alone, the body needs to breathe a different air.
I leave you a cup of coffee for this day.☕
Exactly, a good place, it makes it all worthwhile with a good coffee...
A big hug
Same here in Bulgaria too, there are not tea houses available around, only coffee shops. Maybe in England both places are equally famous, because they have good traditions in tea drinking.
Yes, I agree with you friend, it depends on the culture and the country.
I wish it existed and so we could share life experiences....
A big hug.
Wao what a nice place to enjoy a coffee ☕.
Excellent Sunday of conversation coffee lovers.
For this weekly conversation we are asked what we prefer a tea house or a coffee shop.
I commented in some of the comments of my colleagues that in my city there are no tea houses, from what I have seen and said that this was because in our Latin American culture tea is not as popular as in other countries, here what is more popular is coffee and is rooted in the social fibers of Latinos.
It is for this reason that I personally prefer a coffee shop and enjoy a delicious coffee at any time of the day and with any companion to taste the flavor of caffeine. I have tasted teas, but I don't know what a tea house would be like and I hope someday to meet one to have the experience.☕
I hope to continue reading you in the comments.
I wish you all an excellent start of the week with lots of coffee.🍃
It's good to keep an open mind; maybe someday you'll visit a teahouse and you'll be hooked. In the meantime, you're blessed to have lots of coffee in your life, every day. Cheers to that!
The only time I drank tea in a coffee shop was because I had a bad case of the flu and I noticed that near the coffee machine there were boxes of tea, so I ordered a lemon and honey tea, which fortunately was delicious. I thought it was a very good idea that they had that option there, for me it was wonderful.
I have also had very good teas in coffee shops and they have been very pleasant experiences, added to that we can include the benefits of tea when consuming it.
I hope your flu has calmed down with the lemon and honey tea.😷
Thank you for leaving your comment.
Excellent start week.
Happy Sunday coffee lovers, may you have started the day tasting the best of the best, an excellent coffee! I go with my comment, coffee shop or tea house?
In my country, Venezuela, there are no tea houses, or at least I have not heard of any tea house, and there has been a large Chinese community for decades, but they have been dedicated to restaurants and commerce in general, but I do not know of tea houses and our culture is one of coffee.
Once I wanted to have a tea in a coffee shop, and it was so cumbersome that I never tried it again. They served me a cup with hot water and on the plate there was a sachet of black tea, with half a lemon and two sachets of sugar.
I had to put the tea bag in the water, cover it with the plate for a few minutes and then squeeze the lemon and add the sugar to my liking. The lemon was quite dry, and it was a lot of water so the tea turned out watery and simple. Undrinkable.😀
I keep my coffee and tea when I feel like it, I make it at home.
Yes, my friend, our culture is coffee.
And certainly, you are right, there is a Chinese community, but here in Caracas where I have been there is not, nor I think in Sucre, nor Guarenas, which is where I currently live.
How unfortunate that you had that bad experience, it is not the same a tea house, that a restaurant, each one to his trade ....
However, it would be great to enjoy one....
But of course, in our homes we enjoy a good cup of tea...
Hehe! This made me laugh, although I can imagine the disappointment you felt.
I experienced something similar, maybe here in the UK (I'm not sure), where I had to make my own tea... it might have been at the airport.
It would be odd for me to visit a teahouse here in the Uk, simply because I'm not so fond of tea:)
A horrible tea, I can imagine the look of disappointment on your face, I think this will always happen to us when we go out for a drink outside the home, these are part of the experience.
I leave you a cup of coffee for this day.☕
Wao that was a tea self service, almost what they sold you was the hot water for you to flavor it 🙈 Maybe the lack of habit in selling tea makes you have that oversight or maybe the person who served you has no idea how to prepare it. It seems illogical but it usually happens.
Wow, I didn't know there were tea houses anywhere in the world 🙈 in my country that's not common. Usually in coffee shops they also sell tea and iced tea is starting to appear in certain establishments.
For the time being, I prefer coffee shops to drink coffee and I like to share with my friends or family. It's always a good place to have a good conversation 😄 I love coffee ☕
Here I leave you with a special coffee, made with coconut milk.
I think that coffee shops should promote tea consumption so that it becomes popular in our countries, so that we would have the benefits of a delicious tea within reach.
I leave you a cup of coffee for this day.☕
Every Venezuelan's custom is inclined towards the coffee culture. That is why there are few tea houses in the territory; however, tea is well valued for its preventive and curative properties. If you want passion and energy we drink coffee that is why I will always prefer the atmosphere of a coffee shop from the moment you enter its smell makes you feel good and the atmosphere is one of joy where vibrant conversations flow and everyone is willing to socialize in a pleasant way.
Currently am still searching for tea shops in lagos state so till I find any I will definitely be enjoying my coffee right in the sofa in my room, but if I eventually find a coffee shop I will definitely like to see what it looks like enjoying coffee out of my house.
Tea is not very popular in our countries, which is a shame because tea is a drink with many benefits for our bodies. We hope to enjoy a tea house in our countries one day.
I leave you a cup of coffee for this day.☕
Friends what an interesting conversation, I had the idea that in Europe teahouses abounded especially in UK and really the comments of @millycf1976 and @mdosev surprised me. A virtual hug to all 🤗☕
