Ingredients: Tea leaf, sunflower oil, vinegar, salt, sweetener, sodium benzoate (E211)." Lahpet (လက်ဖက်) is Burmese for fermented or pickled tea. Myanmar is one of the few countries where tea is both consumed as a drink and as an eaten delicacy, in the form of pickled tea, which is unique to this region. Laphet is regarded as a national delicacy that plays a significant role in Burmese society, and remains a traditional Burmese gesture of hospitality and is served to guests visiting a home. - Lahpet Thoke (လက်ဖက်သုပ်) is a pickled tea salad that is very popular across Myanmar. It is prepared by mixing the ingredients of Assorted Fried Beans (crisp fried garlic, chickpeas, butterfly peas, Australian peas, toasted sesame and peanuts) and adding fresh tomatoes, garlic, green chilis, and shredded cabbage, and is dressed with fish sauce, sesame or peanut oil, and lime juice. Lahpet with plain white rice is another student favorite, traditionally served at the end of every meal. ZAYAN is the name of the place in Myanmar (Burma) where tea leaf used in this product came from. Review: Good, not bitter pickled tea leaves for a delicoius (restaurant-quality) tea leaf salad dressing. - I went to a Burmese restaurant and loved the tea leaf salad, so I wanted to make it myself. I live in the San Francisco Bay area where there are a LOT of Asian grocery stores, but I couldn't find fermented tea leaves. There were recipes online for fermenting your own tea leaves but the consensus was that it doesn't taste as good. So I ordered this jar from desertcart, bought the other ingredients at my local stores, and made tea leaf salad. It was perfectly delicious, just like that of my Burmese restaurant. Some recipes said that fermented tea leaves can be bitter and that it helps to soak the bitterness out of them with cold water, but these were not bitter at all. (I soaked them but it didn't make any difference. I won't wast time soaking them next time.) The fermented tea leaves come in a sealed bag that's inside of a plastic-lidded jar. In case it helps anyone... I made the dressing, pureed in a blender with the following: 1/2 cup of tea leaves (which are packed in oil, by the way). 1 tsp lemon juice (at least). ½ cup of canola oil. 2 Tbsp fish sauce. 1 clove of garlic (at least). ¼ tsp dried chili flakes. That's enough dressing for about 10 cups of chopped lettuce (for 7-8 people). I'd estimate that this jar of fermented tea leaves contains about 1.5 cups, which would be enough for 3 batches of the dressing recipe listed above. Of course, if you're serving a family of 4, you may want to cut my dressing recipe (and the following salad recipe) in half. In case it helps, the other ingredients that I put around (and then later mixed-in with) the lettuce were: 1/4 cup of fried moong dahl (that I found in the SNACK section, not the grain section, of an Indian grocery store) 1/4 cup of fried garlic chips (which I found at one of my Asian grocery stores-- though you can make them yourself). 1/4 cup of roasted sunflower seeds. 1/4 cup of Spanish peanuts. 1/4 cup of diced tomatoes. 1 small diced jalapeno. 2 lemon wedges squeezed on top. Optionally, 1 Tbsp shrimp powder sprinkled on top. This is good stuff. Good luck! Bon appetite! Review: Lapheto - Great for tea leaf salad ## Features - Shan Shwe Taung Myanmar Pickled Tea LEAF.
