Tea in Persian hospitality: from brewing to serving

In Persian culture tea stands for hospitality, with a constant place at home, in the office and in hotels.

Water: fresh, freshly boiled water releases tea's aroma best; boiling water for too long flattens the taste.

Brewing time: black tea usually brews for a few minutes; over-brewing brings bitterness.

Serving: a clear glass shows off the tea's colour, and sugar cubes on the side are part of the Persian ritual.
