There isn't just one type of popular tea in Moscow. There are a million choices (including Lipton). The store shelves are stocked with all different flavors from all different countries. English teas, herb teas and favored teas are all available at all the supermarkets. Tea bags and loose teas are equally popular. Green tea seems to be the rage with all the women I know. I just buy what ever is on sale this week at the supermarket.
