Hand-made by Billie & Michael. The creators of Cultured Tea Leaf® mix their secret recipe by hand, gently massaging organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, garlic and spices into the Laphet So to preserve and complement the complexity of each leaf.
We are the first USDA CERTIFIED ORGANIC ‘Laphet So’, meaning our single-origin edible tea and ingredients are grown with no pesticides and contain no artificial preservatives or additives, dyes, or MSG.
Our Laphet So is vegan, gluten-free, keto and paleo-friendly.
Savored by Burmese queens & kings since ancient times, our 'Laphet So' is aged and fermented until deliciously tender. Burmese legend states that the Palaung people of Namhsan began tea cultivation after an encounter with King Aluangusithu of Bagan during his reign circa 1100 A.D.
Our edible tea leaf is picked and aged at 5,332 ft above sea level. Cultured Tea Leaf® celebrates the unique heritage of Namhsan as Myanmar's original capital of tea, producing the country’s highest quality teas for the past 1,000 years.
Laphet So serves as the culinary main event for entrees, cheeses, hors d'oeuvre, sushi, or any creative dish you wish to adorn with Myanmar's queen of all leaves.
Cultured Tea Leaf® Laphet So is grown by the master tea artisans of Namhsan, after which it is hand-mixed and bottled in the Granite State (New Hampshire).

Taste the Terroir of Myanmar
Tea is Culture in Myanmar. Try pairing CULTURED TEA LEAF™ with any of your favorite hors d'oeuvres to add an explosion of fermented flavor and umami. Prosciutto di Parma combined with the terroir of Namhsan is one of our favorite simple recipes. As a plus, you'll find Cultured Tea Leaf brings a kick of caffeine to the party.
Adorn your food with the Queen of All Leaves
CULTURED TEA LEAF™ pairs exceptionally well with beef. We add a dollop of Myanmar's Queen of all leaves to create a new category of Myanmar-American fare, the Cultured Tea Burger.
Aged to perfection at 5,000 feet
CULTURED TEA LEAF™ 'Laphet So' is aged for 6-12 months to achieve the most unique fermented taste you'll ever experience. We adorn one of America's favorites, filet mignon, with our spicy edible tea leaf to create a masterpiece.
Tea Differently
We always like to present high quality 'Laphet So' as the culinary main event, in its original form. The act of chewing tender tea leaf is a ritual everyone should experience just as done in Myanmar. While we love all our hip tea pairings, the most intense flavor of CULTURED TEA LEAF™ 'Laphet So' is best experienced solo on a spoon, or set atop a crunchy cracker of your choice.
Wine, Cheese & Tea Leaf
After experimenting for years, CULTURED TEA LEAF™ is complimented by the creaminess of any of your favorite aged cheeses. Your favorite glass of red pairs dramatically with our olive-oil-infused 'Laphet So' delicacy.
