Iranian Tea

Iran has always been famous for its strong black tea which is often supplemented with aromatic spices as flavor. Iranian tea or Chaee as it is called in Persian, is a black tea which is prepared in a very specific manner. Iranian tea comes in a variety of subtle flavors, but its defining characteristic is its deep reddish-brown color, which tea-drinkers can choose to dilute with water depending on their preference.  Our guests from Poland ask their tour guide Sahar” where is the best place to enjoy tea in Iran?” She believes that there is no one best place. Every Tea houses, especially in old bazaars of ancient cities such as Tehran, Tabriz, Shiraz and Yazd are ready to serve you a piping hot glass of tea with the words Nushe Jan! (Bon appetite).
