More than a salad. ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ
In Burma (Myanmar), we donโt just drink tea โ we eat it too! Laphet, or fermented tea leaves, has been part of Burmese food and culture for generations.
Laphet has a long history as a gesture of peace and goodwill, and remains a symbol of Burmese hospitality โ shared with guests, family and friends.
As an old Burmese saying goes:
โOf all the leaves, laphet is best.โ ๐
One of our favorite ways to enjoy it: Laphet Thoke โ Burmese Tea Leaf Salad. ๐ฒ๐ฒโค๏ธ
