Product description

Our Iranian Long Leaf Black Tea, also known as “Ghalam Black Tea,” is a bold and traditional choice rooted in the rich tea culture of Lahijan and Gilan, nestled in the northern regions of Iran. This tea is made from the mature lower leaves of the tea plant, handpicked and carefully processed to deliver a deep, full-bodied flavor that reflects the strength and soul of Persian tea-making.

Unlike more delicate top-leaf varieties, this long leaf black tea offers a stronger brew, making it perfect for those who enjoy a more intense, robust cup of tea. The leaves are naturally oxidized and dried slowly using time-honored methods, without the use of artificial flavors, perfumes, or colorants. This gives the tea a clean, earthy taste and a beautiful reddish-brown liquor when brewed.

This variety is often used in daily Iranian tea rituals, especially when a durable, flavorful tea is desired to serve with traditional sweets or dried fruits. Its strength makes it ideal for blending or for those who enjoy adding a touch of sugar or lemon.
