caption : The famous or infamous yak butter
tea
This cup of tea is no cheapo cup of tea. They are sold mostly to
the tourist in the eating house. This used to the the everyday
drinks of the Tibetan but today, milk tea are gradually replacing
this drink. The difference between the yak butter tea and the milk
tea is that it is salty and have a strong buttery taste. You will
have to drink it hot otherwise the buttery taste will make it
unpalatable.
