Consuming a beverage
Kultureller Hintergrund
Tea is often served with a slice of lemon and a side of honey or sugar. Milk in tea is very rare and considered an English eccentricity. The 'Mountain Tea' (planinski čaj) is a specific blend of wild herbs often served in rural areas and is highly prized for its health benefits. Croatians are often surprised by the British 'Afternoon Tea' ritual, as tea in Croatia is more of a morning or 'sick-day' drink. While the word 'čaj' comes from Turkish influence, the style of drinking it (in small tulip glasses) is not common in Croatia, where standard ceramic mugs are used.
The 'Sick' Connotation
If you order tea in a cafe, don't be surprised if the waiter asks if you're feeling okay. It's a common cultural association.
Honey vs Sugar
In Croatia, honey (med) is the preferred sweetener for tea, especially for health reasons.
