from Roqe · host Roqe Global Media

A new special episode of Roqe (295!) focusing on all things tea-related and the Iranian obsession with the aromatic hot beverage. Jian is joined by popular Persian broadcaster, producer, and self-proclaimed “tea master” Behzad Bolour for an entertaining feature 90 mins about the history, politics, economics, particularities and cultural rituals of Iranians and tea. Plus we read letters and comments from the audience about the appropriateness of herbal tea at an Iranian mehmooni(!), and journalist Mahsa Mortazavi joins Jian and Pegah for the Roqe Roundup to discuss tea, Reza Pahlavi’s recent interview with Piers Morgan, and the latest hijab crackdowns in Iran.
