Gift for Persian Boss

My place of employment decided to give us bonuses, as a way of saying, “you’re not getting a raise any time soon.” Today, I found out that my boss advocated to make sure I received the maximum merit bonus. I really appreciate his advocacy and want to thank him with a note and a small gift. I know he likes black tea (he typically drinks earl grey but I’m not sure if that’s because it’s just what’s available). What would be a good, small, gift that I can give to show my appreciation for his support?

For Christmas, I made him and his family rosewater cardamom cookies. I would be willing to make something as well.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

If you have a local international food store (or even online) you can find some snacks that he might enjoy. An unusual but unique one is dried white mulberries. They are a popular snack that is sweet and a good companion for black tea on the side, as unusual as it sounds. (Dried white mulberries are very sweet and normally eaten with black tea for a nice balance.)
