뜻
Describing tea with a high concentration.
문화적 배경
Tea is often served with 'varenye' (fruit preserves) which can be eaten with a spoon or stirred into the 'крепкий чай'. In these regions, tea is often served in small bowls (piala). If the tea is 'крепкий', it is a sign of respect to the guest. In cold climates, 'крепкий чай' is often drunk with milk and salt to provide more energy and electrolytes. The term 'чифирь' is a hyper-concentrated 'крепкий чай' used as a stimulant. It is culturally distinct and not used in polite society.
The Zavarka Trick
If you are in a Russian home, don't pour a full cup from the small teapot. That's the 'zavarka' (concentrate). Pour a little, then add hot water from the big kettle!
Caffeine Alert
Russian 'крепкий чай' can be surprisingly strong. If you have heart issues, always ask for 'некрепкий' (not strong).
