Also - black tea from Assam is fantastic. However, last time I was in India I was frequently ruining it in the mornings by adding salt to it, or other items to try to replenish lost electrolytes.
- equalunique 7y agoHimalayan butter coffee is a salty recipie. Give it a try, and you might enjoy it.
- kranner 7y agoDo you have a link for the recipe? The first page of Google results doesn't show anything called exactly that. It is also confusing because coffee is not a traditional drink in the Himalayan regions I'm familiar with. You didn't mean Butter Tea[1], did you?

- equalunique 7y agoI totally meant Butter Tea. My bad. My first foray into buttered drinks was via Bulletproof Coffee, which was inspired by Butter Tea[1]. My typo was the result of confusing the two. >As it turns out, the idea of mixing something fatty into a hot beverage to start off a hard day’s work is not so new. In fact, the inspiration for Bulletproof Coffee came to Asprey during a 2005 trip to the Himalayas. In Tibet, yak butter tea is often called the national drink, with some individuals consuming up to 60 cups per day.

- gourabmi 7y agoI feel like Assam tea works best with milk. When having without milk, I prefer Darjeeling.
- slothtrop 7y agoBest tea I've ever had was a strongly brewed Darjeeling made with leaves gifted to me from someone's trip to India. I've not since recreated that taste. I like a somewhat milky assam & ceylon mix as well (effectively English Breakfast) but the quality tends to be so weak it just tastes like weed water most of the time. I'm usually a black coffee drinker so I like a 'bold' taste.
