1. What does saffron taste like? – In simple terms

Saffron has three key flavor components. Once you've "understood" it, You can recognize high-quality saffron immediately – in its fragrance, warmth, and depth.

  • Floral: Imagine dried chamomile blossoms mixed with a hint of linden blossom tea. Not perfumed or overpowering – rather soft and warmly floral.
  • Honey-like and slightly sweet: Not sweet like sugar, more like a mild blossom honey in the background. A well-rounded, warm sweetness, without making the tea truly sweet.
  • Spicy and very slightly bitter: A subtle, elegant bitterness – more like a good herbal tea (e.g., lemon balm + a touch of hops), not like an overpowered espresso. This delicate bitterness prevents saffron from tasting "soapy".

If you had to compare them, saffron would be…
…a mixture of chamomile tea, blossom honey, a hint of hay flowers (scent of dried summer hay) plus a very slight herbal bitterness.

In addition, there is something that many describe as "sunny" or "golden": a warm, deep aroma, something you feel rather than taste.

If you'd like to experience this yourself: Experiment with saffron threads (e.g., from Faruj) in your everyday life – ideally in tea, because you perceive color, scent, and taste particularly clearly.

Saffron threads and tea preparation

Tip: If you briefly crush/grind saffron (mortar/grater), it will taste "rounder" in the tea and develop its aroma faster.

Here's how to prepare saffron tea correctly

Briefly explained (Saffron Reel). Tip: Briefly crush/rub the saffron first – this will release its aroma and color more quickly.

  1. 5-10 threads (depending on taste) into the mortar / onto the grater.
  2. Briefly "pre-soak" in warm water (5-7 minutes).
  3. Add saffron infusion to a teapot with a quarter of a cinnamon stick, or add it to your already brewed favorite tea.
  4. Let it steep again – observe the golden color.
  5. If desired, finish with saffron crystal sugar or honey.

Note: If you are pregnant/breastfeeding or taking medication, please consult your doctor beforehand.
