Butter Tea originated in Tibet in the 7th century with the trade routes between Tibet and China. Tea was from China, and butter, a stable in Tibet, was incorporated into tea drinking in Tibet. Butter Tea is the tea version of Bulletproof coffee with the same benefits of elongating the fast that occurs during sleep. Making butter Tea in the blender is quick, easy and the tea comes out smooth and creamy. Be sure to use good quality tea and butter from grass-fed cows.
