Iranian Black Tea is a cherished staple in Persian households, known for its rich aroma, deep reddish-brown color, and smooth, earthy flavor. Grown primarily in the lush northern regions of Iran, especially in Gilan and Mazandaran provinces near the Caspian Sea, this tea benefits from the region’s unique climate and fertile soil. Iranian tea cultivation began in the early 20th century, spurred by the efforts of visionary reformers aiming to reduce dependence on imported teas. Over the decades, Iran developed a tea culture rooted in tradition and quality, with tea being served as a central element in social gatherings and daily rituals. What sets Iranian Black Tea apart is its natural production process—free from artificial colorings or additives. It is hand-picked and carefully processed to preserve its pure essence, making it not only flavorful but also healthy and easy on the stomach. Unlike many mass-produced black teas, Iranian tea is known for its mild caffeine content, making it suitable for frequent consumption throughout the day. Its subtle strength, natural clarity, and deep cultural significance have earned it a reputation for authenticity and refinement, making it a preferred choice for tea lovers who seek genuine taste and heritage.
Excellent Iranian loose leaf tea, produced in tea plantations of Lahijan in Gilan province, northern Iran.
I have purchased this tea brand many times from the excellent “Shopipersia”, that is the only place I know that stocks this tea brand and I have still got some. Highly recommended.
An excellent and very tasty Iranian tea from the tea plantations of Lahijan, in Gilan province, northern Iran.
I have bought this tea several times from the excellent Shopipersia.com, that is the only place that I have seen
stock this tea. I like this tea very much, because unlike
a lot of other teas from other countries, such as Asam,
India, Sri Lankan tea or teas from South Africa, which are
all very powdery, the tealeaves in this tea are large, which
I prefer. I am actually waiting to receive some more of this
tea, that is on its way to me. Highly recommended.
