Very interesting, thanks!

What a lovely composition that makes... the flowered tea pot and the (so unusual!) poppies in the fruit mix. Interesting they should use cardamom. In many Arabic countries, Arabic coffee (AKA Greek coffee, Turkish coffee, Armenian coffee, etc etc) has cardamom in the mix (this is not so with the Greek/Turkish/Armenian variety). Makes me wish I could taste this Afghan tea... I'd expect more Persian influence (tea tradition similar to Earl Gray, with bergamot oil) but perhaps this is from a region with other influences more prominent?
