Coffee in Tehran, in the Shadow of Collapse

Coffee Imports and Sanctions

Most coffee consumed in Iran is imported.

Coffee businesses constantly face challenges related to:

  • International sanctions
  • Currency instability
  • Shipping problems
  • Banking restrictions
  • Import licensing

Importers struggle to maintain consistent quality while prices fluctuate dramatically.

Despite difficulties, Iranian roasters and cafes continue improving standards.
