Armenians do not cultivate tea. The most widespread beverage there is coffee. Strong brew with foam is diluted with ice cold water like Turkish coffee. Also popular are excellent mineral waters of the country and fruit juices.
The national beverage of the country is cognac. Ararat Valley whose volcanic soil is ideal for cultivation of cognac grapes cultivars, a little over 100 years ago became the basis of cognac production in Armenia. For such a short period the country has acquired the reputation of one of the best manufacturers of this beverage.
Armenians have been known as great wine makers. However, today its production has been considerably reduced. It is consumed mainly in the country. But Armenian mulberry vodka which is made both at wineries and at home (almost in every household) is considered a curative beverage with magnificent taste.
