Sochi-grown tea

Tea is grown and processed around Sochi. The Matsesta plantations are part of this tradition, producing black and green varieties.

Try it unsweetened to compare flavours. Check leaf origin when buying: local packaging alone does not prove that the tea was grown locally.

Money

The currency is the Russian rouble. Foreign bank cards may not work, so arrange an accessible payment method before travelling.

Tipping

Tips are voluntary and the amount is your choice. Compare the bill with the menu and ask about unfamiliar entries. Do not pay the same voluntarily agreed tip twice.

Transport

Check routes and timetables on the day of travel. For regional sites, confirm your return transport in advance.

Emergency help

Call 112 for police, fire or ambulance services.

Electricity

C/F outlets with round contacts are common, with 50 Hz mains. Check your device’s input rating against the local supply before connecting; universal chargers are labelled 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz. A plug adapter does not change voltage, and protective earth must be maintained.

Connectivity

Mobile coverage is generally available in cities, but save maps and essential details offline for natural and remote routes.
