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!
