> Persian brewed black tea

Can you buy this in stores? Brand preference?

Similar taste can be achieved with non-Persian tea. I think brewing method maybe more important. For the brand I buy loose leaf english breakfast and use a transparent teapot to see when the tea is ready. Usually takes ~5 minutes for the perfect taste.

Tea: https://teapigs.com/products/english-breakfast?_sid=3aed062b... (choose the loose leaf version)

$8 for shipping is a bit steep for a $9 bag of tea. Any other loose-leaf recommendations? Thanks for both this and the pot recommendation!

Sadaf is a staple. I'm a fan of the cardamom varieties.
