The Polish coffee & tea culture is rich and full of tradition.
A strong black coffee often marks the start of the day, while herbal teas such as linden blossom, chamomile, or mint have been enjoyed in Polish households for centuries. Fruity teas made with rosehips, apples, or berries bring a refreshing note.

Served in cups, mugs, milk jugs, and sugar bowls crafted in Polish pottery, these drinks not only taste delicious but are also presented in authentic, timeless style.

To accompany coffee or tea, traditional Polish pastries such as Faworki (crispy fried pastries) or Piernik (spiced honey cake) are a must. Together, they create an authentic Polish cultural moment at your table.
