Original Lahpet

Traditional Burmese fermented tea leaves, grown and handpicked by small holder farmers, then locally fermented in Pindaya, Shan State, Myanmar. Myanmar’s edible fermented tea, known locally as lahpet, has been enjoyed across the country for centuries. Lahpet is the essential ingredient in the iconic national dish Lahpet Thoke, a tea leaf salad. These nutritious leaves are a delectable medley of spicy, tangy and earthly tastes, but are also bursting with antioxidants and probiotics. They can be eaten on their own as a healthy snack, or they are a ubiquitous addition to any culinary style, brimming with flavours of Burma & beyond.
