Romania has a rich and diverse drinking culture, influenced by both Eastern European and Western European traditions.

Wine plays a significant role in Romanian culture, often being served during celebrations, family gatherings, and religious events.

Romanians also have a strong tea-drinking tradition, influenced by their Eastern European neighbors. Herbal teas, such as chamomile and mint, are popular choices, especially for their soothing and healing properties. Tea is often served with honey and lemon, especially during the cold winter months.
=== Cafea (KAH-fey-ah) ===
If you're a coffee drinker, you'll be happy to know that Romania has a strong coffee culture. Cafea means "coffee," and it is pronounced KAH-fey-ah. Some popular types of coffee in Romania include cafea cu lapte (coffee with milk), cafea neagră (black coffee), and cafea cu frișcă (coffee with whipped cream).  


Coffee is another beloved beverage in Romania, with a unique twist. The traditional Romanian coffee, known as "cafea turcească" or Turkish coffee, is prepared by boiling finely ground coffee beans with water and sugar in a special pot called a "cezve." It is a strong and aromatic coffee enjoyed by many Romanians, especially in the morning or after a meal.
