In Uzbekistan, black tea is part of a ritual: a guest is brewed with fresh tea and poured into a bowl three times, indicating respect. Brew tea firmly - 1 teaspoon per 200 ml of water; insist 4-5 minutes; drink from the bowl in small portions, adding hot water.
Uzbek black tea on the table is usually a bowl with dried fruits and nuts: dried apricots, raisins, walnuts, pistachios. Sugar is not put in the cup - next to a saucer with navvat or honey, and the sweetness is taken to taste. This gives a difficult balance between strong brewing and natural sweetness.
It is better to store tea at home in a sealed jar away from the stove and sun: tea quickly takes moisture and loses its aroma. On the counter, we keep tea in packs of 100, 250 and 500 g - for an everyday family, the most convenient volume.
