The full story

About this product

These specially selected tea leaves are processed for the robust, earthy character needed in traditional suja — Bhutan\'s beloved butter and salt tea drunk throughout the day in highland homes.

Key benefits

  • Provides gentle caffeine and L-theanine for calm alertness
  • Traditional high-altitude beverage supports warmth and hydration
  • Rich polyphenol antioxidants from whole tea leaves
  • Organic cultivation without pesticide residues

How to prepare suja

Boil leaves with water for 5–10 minutes until dark and strong. Strain into a churn or blender, add yak or cow butter and salt, then churn until frothy. Adjust butter and salt to taste. Can also be brewed as plain tea without butter.

Storage

Keep in airtight container away from spices and moisture.
