About Butter Tea

Po cha, or butter tea, is made from tea, yak butter, and salt. Provides 400-500 calories per cup at high altitude. Tibetans drink 30-40 cups daily. The churning process creates an emulsion. Essential for survival in the harsh Himalayan climate. The taste is an acquired one for Westerners.
