Product Overview
Butter Tea, known as Po Cha in Tibet, is a traditional Tibetan tea made with strong brick tea, salt, and yak butter. Rich, savory, and deeply warming, it is a distinctive tea with a character unlike ordinary tea.
Traditionally, potent, smoky brick tea is simmered for hours to create a concentrated tea brew known as chaku. This strong tea is then combined with salt and yak butter and vigorously churned before serving. The result is a rich, smooth, and distinctly savory cup with a warming finish.
Our Butter Tea is made with 14% yak butter, giving the tea its characteristic creamy texture and unmistakable buttery richness. The addition of salt creates a pleasantly savory flavor rather than the sweetness found in many Western-style tea beverages.
Butter tea has long been an everyday part of Tibetan life, particularly in the high-altitude regions of the Tibetan Plateau. Its warming character and substantial richness make it especially comforting in cold and demanding environments.
This convenient preparation allows you to experience the distinctive character of Tibetan butter tea without needing to source traditional ingredients or prepare chaku from scratch. If you enjoy bold, savory flavors and are looking for something truly different, Po Cha is well worth trying.
