Cay:     The history of the love of Persian tea dates back to the 16th century. Prior to the 1500's Persians mainly drank coffee and had one of the largest coffee trade industries in the world.  However many attempts were made to try and cultivate the love for tea in Persia as far back as the mid 1200's. By the 1500's Persians were far more open minded about new types of drinks.  Tea plants were brought to Persia from India, where tea was not only a strong part of the culture but it was also considered to be a sacred elixer for health. This belief alone sparked an interest in the Persian explorers. Soon Tea in Persian would be the dominant beverage and today it still is. You have to remember that we are talking about a time when there was no such thing as medical insurance. Therefore alternative quests for wellness was a very serious commitment among those who thirsted for knowledge and the 1500's.  Here at Persian Tea Enterprise we will focus on 4 main Teas that have been enjoyed by Persians for thousands of years. In addition we are introducing an entirely new tea so far appeals mainly to Persian women. This is an interesting point. Men seem to prefer the traditional robust taste of rich black teas. While Persian women also enjoy these teas, also prefer teas and herbal tisanes that provide a variety of healthy benefits. All of our teas are handcrafted in Tacoma, Washington USA.
