Handcrafted Persian Copper Tea & Coffee Set with Achaemenid Empire Design

A Persian Tea Set is a reflection of Iran’s rich cultural heritage, combining elegance, tradition, and artistic finesse. Deeply rooted in the country’s centuries-old tea-drinking customs, these sets often feature intricate designs, delicate engravings, and handcrafted elements that celebrate Persian artistry. Typically made from materials such as fine glass, copper, brass, or silver, Persian tea sets may include a samovar, teapot, tea glasses (estekân), saucers, and a tray—all carefully arranged to enhance both aesthetic appeal and hospitality. Many designs are adorned with traditional motifs like paisleys (boteh jegheh), arabesque patterns, or calligraphy, often combined with vivid colors like turquoise, cobalt blue, or gold. More than just a way to serve tea, the Persian tea set is an essential part of social life and hospitality. Serving tea to guests is a long-standing custom that reflects warmth, generosity, and respect. Whether enjoyed during casual gatherings or formal ceremonies, tea served in a Persian tea set transforms an ordinary moment into a graceful ritual. The clear, tulip-shaped glasses allow the deep amber color of the tea to shine through, while the use of rock sugar (nabat) and fragrant Persian black tea completes the experience. Whether for personal enjoyment, traditional décor, or as a thoughtful gift, a Persian tea set offers a timeless way to connect with one of the most cherished aspects of Iranian culture.
