Pickled Tea.

Pickled tea is used in Burmah as a sort of sauer-kraut. The yoking leaves are boiled, poured into pits about six feet deep, lined with plantain leaves and covered with earth, and are kept there for some months. They are then used either to make tea or are eaten after being soaked in oil with garlic or dried fish.
