Soul-warming traditional tea in a metal tea glass holder is a must when on the train. The designs on those pretty antique (from the 60s) glass holders are of some kind of trains and rail station reliefs. I suppose this is one of the first brands we got used to when growing up, the format of serving this tea was uniform all across USSR. Always lots of sugar was provided with it, sometimes lemon but never milk.
