    Drinking (Chay) tea in Azerbaijan is very common and a sign of hospitality. There they drink it out of a special glass called an Armudu which is shaped with a waistline and it is said to represent the ideal figure of an Eastern woman. (I was not able to find this special glass on short notice) The black tea is served with sugar cubes and many types of preserves. First you place the sugar cube or the preserve in your mouth and then sip your tea.
