Tea is one of the most popular drinks in the world, which has different types depending on the place of growth and processing method. But do you know what types of Iranian tea are? Indeed, this plant was first brought to Iran from China, and even its cabbage has Chinese roots, but it managed to gain a high position among Iranians. Even among Europeans and distant countries, it has stolen the competition due to its countless benefits and low risk compared to coffee.
Meanwhile, some types of tea, such as green, black and oolong, may find more fans. In this regard, it is interesting to know that the reason for the variation in this product originates from the dryness of the leaves and the oxidation process. Although the two countries, China and India, are the claimants of the production industry of this product in the world, Iran can also join these claimants because of the favorable weather in the northern region. So it's a good idea to stay with us and learn more about the variety of tea in Iran.
Know the types of Persian tea!
The combination of humidity and the mountainous nature of the northern regions have provided favorable conditions for the growth of the world's most popular drink, tea. It is better to know that Iranian tea is one of the healthiest teas in the world. On the other hand, the mountainous weather in the northern parts, in addition to creating a better taste of this product, has a lesser effect on the number of pests. So, in this case, the need to use pesticides will be minimized, and this hearty drink will be healthier.
Another point is that these products have specific categories based on season and oxidation level. The most widely used type of Iranian tea is black, which is divided into smaller categories based on the arrangement of different parts of the tea bush and the size of the seeds, which are:
• Sargol
• Excellent
• Pen
• Broken
• Gunpowder
You may have noticed that at some time of the year, tea growers get help from human labour like village women in harvesting, Although at other times, they arrange this plant with a mechanical device. In this regard, the type of arrangement determines the quality of this product. In hand-picking, only the buds and young leaves of the tea tree are picked; While with the machine, the whole part is separated from the upper branches of the shrub.
If you have ever consumed foreign tea, read this section.
If you have been drinking foreign tea for a long time, when you try Iranian tea for the first time, you may not think it has the same aroma and color as the previous teas. This is because Iranian tea has no added color or aromatic essence. It may be fainter or less fragrant than some foreign teas, but it is much healthier. When you brew Persian tea, it has a pleasant aroma and color, and even if left on the kettle for several hours, it does not turn black and dark. If you use Iranian tea for a while, you will not change the relaxing and pleasant flavour of Iranian tea with another tea, and you will no longer go for foreign teas. Many of our regular Iranian tea customers say that they can no longer use foreign tea because it turns dark and has too much aroma due to the presence of aromatic essences. Therefore, replace Iranian tea with foreign tea and pay more attention to your health.
Green tea with thousands of benefits
As we said, the type of processing and the oxidation level is other factors in the classification of Iranian teas. We have introduced the types of black tea every day in Iran. Now, it is not harmful to know that the difference in drying the tea tree leaves causes the production of other types of this drink, such as yellow, green, white, oolong, Puerh, etc.
But the green type is also produced in Iran, which has found a good place among us due to its many health benefits. This product goes through the process of heat and steaming after harvesting the fresh leaves of the tea bush or Camellia sinensis. With this, oxidation does not happen and makes it greenish. Another bonus that this production method brings is the remarkable beauty and healing properties of this type. Helping to lose weight, protecting the skin, controlling blood sugar and blood pressure, helping to increase relaxation and reducing stress are some of the benefits of the green type.
Why Iranian and not foreign tea?
In the production process of Iranian tea, unlike many foreign teas, no additives are used for the color and aroma of the tea. We have closely visited many tea factories and can confidently say that Iranian tea is original, healthy and natural without additives, but that's not all. The excellent climate of the northern regions of our country, where tea is grown, has made it unnecessary to use chemical pesticides to combat pests. Iranian tea is one of the few teas in the world that is produced without using chemical pesticides. These reasons have made many doctors recommend Iranian tea to people with stomach problems.
Last word
This article said that the type of season affects the production of spring, summer and autumn types of tea. Still, the drying and oxidation processing determines black, green, yellow, white, oolong, etc., which is a universal classification. In the meantime, black tea has more fans among the types of Iranian tea, which has different appearances and quality depending on the selection of different parts of the tea bush. Sargol, Mumtaz, Broken, Qalami and Baruti are also included in these categories.
