Contexte culturel
The city's sulfur baths in Abanotubani are fed by natural hot springs. Locals visit these for social and health reasons. In rural areas, if there is no running hot water, a host will immediately boil a large pot of water for a guest to wash. Drinking hot water with honey and walnuts is a traditional remedy for various ailments in the Caucasus. Georgians take tea seriously. Asking for 'ცხელი წყალი' in a restaurant often implies you want to refill your teapot.

In many old Georgian buildings, the hot water can be extremely hot (near boiling) because of direct gas heaters. Always test it first.
