Paris - Russia via train.

Paris - Warsaw - Kiev - Moscow - Saint Petersburg - Tallinn - Warsaw - Paris.

This was the morning tea whilst traveling between Moscow & St. Petersburg. Every Soviet train has a samovar in each carriage, where hot water is (constantly) available, and the passengers (constantly) serve themselves for their tea.

I later picked up some wonderfully fruity black tea, flavoured with dried strawberries, in Ounce in St. Petersburg. 
They say the English are known for their tea, but to the Russians, it’s nearly a religion.
