Saffron is a prized spice derived from the Crocus sativus flower. It consists of red-orange threads called stigmas, which are handpicked and dried. Saffron is known for its vibrant colour, distinctive aroma, and unique flavour.

The amount of saffron needed depends on the recipe and personal preference. As a general guideline, a good starting point is 1-2 teaspoons of saffron threads per cup of liquid or per recipe. Adjust the quantity based on the desired intensity of flavour and colour.

For beverages, You should only need a few strands (threads). Start with four to five threads. If you decide you would like a more intense flavour, then add just a few more strands.

For tea, you do need to let the saffron brew with the Tea, or alternatively you can source ready-made Saffron Tea from our Tea collections.

To maintain the freshness and quality of saffron, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Avoid exposing it to heat, moisture, and direct sunlight, as these can degrade its flavour and colour. When stored properly, saffron can retain its quality for up to two years.
