Russia is a tea country, and for most people, it's just "another tea." The 30,000 Russians who drink it in the Latin American style, with mate, a bombilla, and not steeping it in boiling water, are the ones who consume it that way. Based on my impression, I think the real number is probably three times smaller 😅
