The tea grown in lush valleys of the Shan State is an emblem of Burmese Culture and Cuisine. To get to the final product of the pickled tea we all know and love, it requires steps of picking, steaming, and a long traditional fermentation process which takes months in order for the tea to achieve prime texture.
After fermentation, flavoring is added to the tea, which is then ready to be mixed into your tea salad or the many other dishes that you might want to use it for. The flavour is unique and definitely addictive.
So while the rest of the world drinks tea, lets EAT tea!
