    As a matter of fact, any brewed plant is referred to as "xxx tea" over here. But just "tea" always means good old cai (Mandarin)/tai (Cantonese).

    Disguise yourself as a tourist and you´ll get a tea-like fluid tasting of apples everywhere. Of course, by not disguising you probably get a raki everywhere...

    Raki...now your talking....I like the Greek version Chipero as well, mainly because it's free free free....

    But not in the morning, that's for Yorkshire tea, for Yorkshire folks, made with Yorkshire water.....
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    We have Raki, and we have Retsina and Metaxa and others.

    Might be a language or cultural problem here, but Ouzo is an aniseed based drink ...think 'Pernod, Ricard, Sambuca'....whereas Raki/Chipero is a distilled spirit made from cheap wine and rubbish grapes...and like I said...

    it's FREE FREE FREE

    Neither Rakı nor Uzo is made from grapes...

    If I drank at all, it would be red wine and nothing else.
