𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐞𝐚? ( Saffron Tea)

Let’s start with the basics. Saffron tea is a warm, soothing herbal infusion made from saffron threads — those delicate red strands harvested from the Crocus sativus flower. Known as the world’s most expensive spice, saffron brings not just vibrant colour and unique flavour but also a long list of health benefits.

People have been using 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐞𝐚 for centuries in places like Persia, India, and the Mediterranean region. It’s often described as a “liquid gold” for its colour, cost, and healing properties.
