Ok, maybe not the best post about Germany cause it's not really... German!! But I liked it so much that I have to talk about it, specially because Tajikistan is a country you probably never heard of...
Located in Berlin, the tearoom itself is beautiful – dark green, elaborate, and cosy. It’s
decorated in a Persian style, with plush carpets and cushions for
everybody to sit on the floor. You take your shoes off at the door, and
enter for tea. Much like Tajikistan itself, the tearoom is a place where Russian and
Persian cultures blend together. You’ll find Persian decor against an
old map above the counter displaying Soviet tourist resorts. There’s an
oriental tea menu against Russian food selections.
The tearoom was first displayed at the Leipzig fair in the Soviet
Pavilion back in 1974, when the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic was part
of the Soviet Union. Afterwards, it was given as a gift to the Society
for German-Soviet Friendship. It had everything: secrecy, some Eastern
Bloc history, tea, and fairytales. Why I love it: Almost no one knows about this. The perfect place for a little cozy tea on a german winter!!
