... Well, this was very unknown, and I had never tried anything like it before. I had read about Tibetan tsampa, which was supposedly not "everyone's cup of tea". So I feared this might be pungent in a negative way. ... aaaand I wasn't quite convinced even when I opened the yellow satchet. But Ok, one bag into a 2 deciliter cup, and here we go! Stir, and it's quite warm, and my nose just notices that there's hot steam. 80Ëš. But I sip, and it's surprisingly mellow given all my "brave" expectations. And a few more sips, and what I taste is essentially salty butter. In a good way, actually. Salty butter in milk with a slight maltiness. So, not bad at all, even for a sceptical westerner like myself. I give it 4 stars to highlight that this is a non-scary drink which can be rather mellow on a cold winter's eve (which it is now). It's not a 5, as that is for the best teas that you drink for gastronomical pleasure only. But a good drink for a cold evening, when what you want is that warm feeling, and maybe some assuring taste of good, buttery calories.
