Saffron tea is one of the simplest and most beautiful ways to enjoy saffron. This set pairs a 1 gram jar of all-red threads with traditional Persian rock sugar (nabat) and a step-by-step brewing guide.

How to Use

Steep 5–7 ground threads in a small teapot of hot water for 10 minutes, until the water turns a deep golden amber. Sweeten with the included rock sugar and serve in small glasses, the Persian way.

Storage Instructions

Store the saffron jar sealed in a cool, dark place. Keep the rock sugar dry at room temperature.

What Makes It Premium

The same premium threads as our jars, paired with authentic nabat — the way saffron tea is actually served in Iranian homes, not a tea-bag imitation.

The Three Marks of True Saffron

Color

Deep crimson threads that release a slow, golden hue in warm water — never an instant, artificial red.

Aroma

A honeyed, hay-like fragrance with a whisper of earthiness. If a jar smells like nothing, it is nothing.

Flavor

Delicately bitter and floral, unmistakable in rice, tea, and desserts. A little transforms the entire dish.

Questions About This Product

Does the set include a teapot?

No — it includes saffron threads, Persian rock sugar, and a brewing guide. Any small teapot or French press works beautifully.

Is saffron tea caffeinated?

Saffron itself is caffeine-free. Many people also add saffron to black tea — the guide covers both styles.
