Myanmar is one of the only countries where tea is eaten as well as drunk. By far the most popular tea dish is Laphet Thoke – a fermented tea-leaf salad.

Served with peanuts, sesame seeds, garlic, peanut oil, tomato and dried shrimp, Laphet Thoke has an unforgettable flavour and texture. Primarily served as a side dish or snack, it´s surprisingly filling.
