Iranian Drinks


Iran is the world's 7th major tea producer, mostly cultivated in its northern regions. In Iranian culture, tea is so widely consumed,and is typically the first thing offered to a guest.Iran's traditional coffee (qahve, or kāfe) is served strong, sweet, and "booby-trapped with a sediment of grounds".In 16th-century Safavid Iran, coffee was initially used for medical proposes among the society.Traditional coffeehouses were popular gatherings, in which people drank coffee, smoked tobacco, and recited poetry—especially the epic poems of Šāhnāme.


Iranian traditional beverages

Sherbet which is fruit syrup is very common beverage for guests, sekanjebin is popular sharbet. Fresh juices weren’t that common traditionally, only carrot juice which is matched with Iranian traditional ice cream. Flower essence beverages called “ Aragh” are very popular and refreshing, a must-try in Iran. Aragh sometimes also has seeds in it such as Chia seed. On Iran culinary tour you will visit the essence making workshops. The variety exceeds 30-40 types since each flower has its aragh. Each aragh has its own medical properties too, a knowledge that is quite well known among Iranians. Aragh is the first remedy in Iran for many light physical problems.
