The Classic
Three to five threads, water just off the boil, five minutes. At one cup a day, a 1 g Crystal Bottle lasts about two months.
A gram of saffron is roughly sixty cups of tea. For most people that is a season. If the golden cup has become a habit rather than an occasion, a standing delivery keeps it going without you thinking about it — and it costs less than buying bottles one at a time.
What the habit looks like
The three brews people actually settle into, and roughly how fast each one goes through a gram.
Three to five threads, water just off the boil, five minutes. At one cup a day, a 1 g Crystal Bottle lasts about two months.
Five threads steeped in 2 tbsp hot water, then warm milk, honey and cardamom. Heavier on threads — a gram runs about 40 cups.
If you also cook with it — qabuli pulao, sholeh zard, kheer — budget a generous pinch per dish. Households that cook weekly do better on the 5 g Connoisseur Jar at $12/g.
Every cup costs about 30¢ — the most expensive spice in the world is a remarkably cheap daily habit.
We sell saffron, not medicine. Nothing here is intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
Sizes that match the habit
The 1 g bottle is the gift unit. If saffron has become part of the week rather than the holiday, the bigger jars bring the price per gram down.

The daily cup
About 60 cups. Roughly a season at one cup a day.

The kitchen
About 100 dishes or 300 cups. For households that cook with saffron weekly.

The household
Ramadan sweets, wedding rice, a winter of golden cups — the best value we offer.
