Coffee, Tea and Sweets
Poles are inveterate tea and coffee drinkers, their daily round punctuated by endless cups or glasses, generally with heaps of sugar. Tea ( herbata ), which is cheaper and so marginally more popular, is drunk Russian-style in the glass, without milk and often with lemon. In most places, you'll get hot water and a tea bag, though occasionally it will come naturalna style - a spoonful of tea leaves with the water poured on top. Coffee ( kawa ) in Poland has improved immeasurably thanks to Pozegnanie z Afryka ( Out of Africa ), the chain of coffee bars that has spread throughout the main cities, and a real treat for the coffee connoisseur. Remember that coffee is served black unless you ask otherwise, in which case specify with milk ( z mleckiem ) or with cream ( ze smietanka ). Many cafes ( kawarnia ) offer only kawa naturalna , which is a strong brew made by simply dumping the coffee grounds in a cup or glass and pouring water over them. Espresso and capuccino, usually passable imitations of the Italian originals, are now available in the more modern cafes and restaurants. In cafes and bars alike a shot or two of vodka or winiak (locally produced cheap brandy) with the morning cup of coffee is still frequent practice.
