Pickled Tea Kyet Chay Ni 360g
More than just a condiment, Pickled Tea (Lahpet) is a cultural icon in Myanmar, often served as a salad or on its own. This "Kyet Chay Ni" preparation involves fermenting tender tea leaves, which are then mixed with peanut or sesame oil, roasted sesame seeds, fried garlic, and sometimes dried shrimp or ginger.
The result is a moist, aromatic mix with a symphony of flavors: the dominant earthy, slightly bitter tang of the fermented tea, balanced by nutty, savory, and spicy notes. Its texture is soft yet textured from the seeds. This 360g jar brings an authentic taste of Burmese tea leaf salad (Lahpet Thoke) to your home, ready to be enjoyed as a unique side dish, a topping for rice, or a bold snack.
