Significado
Tea served at a high temperature.
Contexto cultural
Tea is often served with 'Ghand' (beet sugar cubes). It is common to see people pouring the tea into the saucer (Nalbeki) to cool it down faster. In the Azeri regions of Iran, tea is often served even stronger and hotter, frequently accompanied by local sweets like 'Ghorabiye'. Modern cafés in Tehran might serve 'Chai Latte' or 'Masala', but 'Chāy-e dāgh' always refers to the traditional Iranian black tea.
The Ta'arof Rule
When offered 'chāy-e dāgh', it's polite to decline once or twice before accepting, even if you really want it!
Check the Color
A good 'chāy-e dāgh' should be 'Albaluyi' (cherry-colored). If it's too light, it's 'Kam-rang' (weak).

Preguntas frecuentes
4 preguntasIt is believed that drinking hot liquids helps the body cool down by inducing sweating.
Yes, unless specified otherwise (like 'Chāy-e Sabz' for green tea), 'Chāy' always means black tea.
It is the invisible '-e-' sound that links 'Chāy' to 'Dāgh'.
No, that is grammatically incorrect in Persian. The adjective must follow the noun.
