Black tea with saffron and kumquat is a refined blend of aromas inspired by Arab culinary traditions. Saffron, known for its spicy warmth and golden hue, adds noble depth to the drink, while kumquat brings a touch of freshness and light citrus tartness. Historically, saffron was valued as a spice symbolizing luxury and sophistication, while kumquat was used to impart a refreshing flavor to tea. This drink not only warms and relaxes but also awakens the senses, creating harmony between the bitterness of black tea and the delicate sweetness of fruits.
