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...
