Another great lunch. The local Iranian black tea is once again the hero of the dish! Sweet tea and a spicy dish can be such a delicious combination!

Iranian lunch and an Iranian green tea. The tea is a little astringent and that really helps to balance this dish!

Iran not only produces great sweet, flowery black tea but also green tea. Paired beautifully with this great Iranian dish!

Iranian food is among the best food I have ever tasted. Iranian black tea is among the sweetest, most fruity and flowery teas I know. They seem to be a match made in heaven! 14 grams of tea on 1 liter of 95 degrees Celsius water and a steeping time of four minutes.

Noodles and satè. Paired with a China Pu-Er Mannong. Sweetness of the tea balances the spicy notes. This means I really need a big mug of tea 😁 7 grams of tea on 110 ml of 95 degrees Celsius. 10-20-25-30-45 seconds.

Cornish pasty and Cornish Tea. You can’t go wrong.

Chinese hotpot and a Cooked Pu Er. Perfect combination!

First full breakfast during my two day visit to Scotland. Strong Assam to deal with it of course.
