Armenian Tea Drinking Rituals – Tavush Province, Armenia

EXPERIENCE

Join us in the lush, green mountains of Berd to experience the first and only Armenian tea drinking ritual! We re Darman Organic Herbal Teas, the only certified organic tea producer in Armenia. We source our herbal teas and flowers in the mountains around the town of Berd, where this experience takes place. First, you ll select the organic herbs and flowers you want included in your own personal blend, learning about where they come from, how they re used traditionally in Armenia, and their wellness properties. After brewing the teas, we will taste them together. To activate your sense of smell and enhance the tasting experience, we will also perform an aromatherapy ceremony, burning select herbs that have proven antibacterial properties. In fact, this was a common practice in old Armenian homes. Finally, we will guide you through a basic meditation session to end your experience. Before you leave, you ll have an opportunity to purchase the unique blend you created, or one of our original Darman blends, at our production facility.
