    Taiwanese Oolong and Eastern Slavic rap music - with Ilja Aviarjanaŭ

    #67 – in conversation with Belarusian cultural entrepreneur and XianCha Tea founder, Ilja Aviarjanaŭ. A cozy living room chat with Ilja Aviarjanaŭ, the creator of XianCha Tea — a tea shop dedicated to promoting Taiwanese tea culture across Germany and Europe. This episode explores the surprising connection between Oolong and rap music in Eastern Slavic countries. The podcast begins with a calming tea ritual led by Ilja, setting the tone for a deep and reflective dive into his passion for tea and the beginnings of his healing journey through tea drinking and supportive community. Along the way, we talk about tea clubs — perhaps the successors to Soviet kvartirniki — as spaces for tea events and rituals, and for some a safe environment to process collective trauma and find connection, especially in these precarious and uncertain times.
