Butter tea and Bhutanese snacks
I'm a beer addict, but I love drinking tea as well. World-famous Sri-Lankan Ceylon tea is one of my favorite. Once in Bhutan I've had butter tea (Bhutanese: Suja) for the first time. The taste was difficult to describe. I'd say it was the only tea in the world that had that kind of taste. It was something like butter and something like salt, but tea. Mine was not so very hot, kinda like lukewarm. Color was also difficult to explain. It was kinda like cloudy golden brown, or like cafe latte brown. The tea served with Bhutanese snacks exactly like the photo shows. The long and the short of it is, but I had a nice unforgettable afternoon tea in Bhutan.
