First, this is Tibetan butter tea and it’s fine. Second, I have seen the same thing in Agra. I would love to taste this flavour of tea. If we can have Gulab Jaman ki Sabji then why not Butter Tea? https://t.co/fQlNavBQrq

And hence it is important to travel, learn and grow to know that India is diverse…even in its Tea! Butter tea, noon chai etc made by Kashmiris, Ladakhi and Tibetans! Absolute delish… https://t.co/RoHRXE6zfe
