Kazakh Traditional Tea Experience
The Kazakh traditional tea experience is an exquisite fusion of aroma and taste, served inside an enchantingly decorated teahouse that provides the perfect backdrop for beautiful photos.
- Upon entering the vintage-style Kazakh teahouse, you and your partner will be greeted by the pleasant aroma of brewing tea. You settle down at a corner table lit by soft, warm lights that cast pretty shadows on the beautifully ornamented walls, perfect for those memorable photo shoots.
- Wait staff dressed in traditional Kazakh attire skillfully pour hot tea into petite, intricately designed cups from a height, an art-form in itself, creating an alluring steam pattern that wreathe around the cups. As you capture this captivating scene in your camera, you secretly steal glances at your partner who is absorbed in the artistry.
- The tea is served with traditional, yet light Kazakh delicacies like kurt (salty dry cheese), baursaki (fried dough), and honey that your partner, who avoids fried and fatty foods, enjoys. As you sip your tea, quietly tasting its refined quality, itโs a moment where simplicity meets sophistication, and elegance meets grace.
Preparation steps:
- Finding the right teahouse is vital for the best experience. Take time to look up traditional Kazakh teahouses in Astana that are praised for their ambiance and authenticity. Call ahead to confirm their operating hours and whether they offer Kazakh tea in the afternoon or evening.
- Since the idea is to have an experience rather than a full meal, eating a light meal beforehand will help. Also, as your partner is cautious about food, informing the tea house staff about her preferences in advance would be a good idea.
- Since the place is atmospheric and beautiful, ensure that your camera or phone is fully charged to capture great shots. Also, considering the tea-pouring artistry is a feast for the eyes, capturing it in video would make a captivating memento.
