Significado
To consume the beverage tea.
Contexto cultural
Tea is never served with milk in Iran. It is always black, sometimes flavored with cardamom, rosewater, or saffron. Traditionally male-dominated spaces, these are now becoming more diverse. They are centers for 'Shahnameh-khāni' (reciting the Epic of Kings). This is where tea is grown. The tea culture here is even more intense, with tea served at almost every hour of the day. The 'Khastegāri' tea ceremony is a classic tradition where the bride-to-be serves tea to the groom's family.
The Ta'arof Rule
If someone offers you tea, it's polite to decline once or twice before accepting. This is 'Ta'arof'.
Color Matters
If you are making tea for an Iranian, make sure it's not too pale. It should look like a dark amber or cherry.
