<ASIAN TEA CULTURE– A WORLD OF WONDERS part 2>

-Myanmar-

Myanmar’s tea culture is amazingly different from others as tea is eaten besides being

drunk. The eaten tea comes under the name of lahpet. Using milk to sweeten the tea is

another favorite in Myanmar. Especially in many parts of Myanmar, tea is dry-roasted

before being mixed in water to make green tea.

-Vietnam-

As one of the largest exporters of tea, Vietnam is the place where tea culture prevails.

Vietnamese people prefer brewed and green. In restaurants or café, refills of the teapot

are mostly free of charge. Meanwhile, serving tea in cups and pots after meals in

household has long been known as a symbol of family love.

-Malaysia-

Teh tarik is the most famous tea in Malaysia, which literally means “pulled tea”. The tea

and milk are poured through the air between two cups until it reaches a rich, frothy

texture. No drop has even fallen out from the hands of skillful teh tarik artists. By

gracefully pouring teh tarik through the air, tea gets cooled and mixes wil milk to produce

a perfectly delicous combination, which is seen and appreciated through a clear glass.
