뜻
Consuming a hot tea beverage.
문화적 배경
Tea is served at all times of day. It is common to drink black tea with a slice of lemon and sugar. Milk is almost never added. In the Polish mountains, 'herbata z prądem' (tea with electricity) is popular, containing a splash of alcohol to keep warm. Offering tea is the first thing a host does. Refusing might be seen as a sign that you are in a hurry. Specialized 'herbaciarnie' (tea houses) are popular for dates, offering hundreds of leaf varieties in a quiet atmosphere.
The Lemon Rule
Always offer lemon with tea. It's the standard in Poland, and many people find tea without it 'incomplete'.
The 'ę' Ending
Don't forget the 'ę' when you are the one drinking. 'Piję herbata' sounds like 'I drink the concept of tea' rather than the drink itself.

Partitive Genitive
If you want to say 'have some tea', use 'napić się herbaty'. It sounds much more natural than 'pić herbatę' in social invitations.
Glass vs Mug
While mugs are common now, older Poles might still serve tea in a glass. Don't be surprised!
