About

For Iranians, tea is far more than a drink. It is a gesture of warmth, patience, and connection. From family visits to festive celebrations, the act of brewing and sharing tea brings people together in quiet, meaningful ways. In this class, we'll explore the art behind this beloved tradition.

Join Omid as he guides you through the art of preparing a classic Persian tea blend of black tea, cardamom, rose petals, and saffron threads. Then we'll prepare a beautiful spread designed to accompany tea, including noon berenji (delicate rice flour and cardamom cookies), kolucheh (pastry filled with a walnut and cardamom mixture), and bamieh (bite-sized donuts soaked in saffron and rosewater syrup), and finish with a savory bite of kobeh (saffron rice and potato croquettes stuffed with lamb and barberries).
