This is Hakka Lei Cha or pounded tea. It is a famous Hakka dish. For your information, Hakka is a subgroup of the Han ethnic people living in Malaysia. Lei Cha is a mixture of tea leaves, mint leaves, peanuts, sesame seeds, green beans and other herbs, which are grounded and pounded into a fine powder. The powder is then used to make drinks or as a nutritional brew to be taken with rice. I recently bought Hakka Lei Cha from the Love Earth Day 2009 Exhibition. I have never tried Hakka Lei Cha before. I bought because I was impressed with its food container made from oil palm fibers.

I have never tried it before but something I want to try now after seeing these photos, it looks yummy.
fantastic shots. I wanted to stop by and apologize to you. I agreed to exchange links with you and then forgot to put it up on my blog. I did finally do it today though. I’m so sorry it took me so long. Have a great night.
I’ve never tried it, but it does look good!!
I loive Lei cha and was introduced by an Ipoh friend. The tastes takes getting used to but once you start you’re hooked! Its the best detox meal ever!
