Lei cha (Chinese: 擂茶) means"Thunder tea" or ground tea and is a traditional Southern Chinese tea-based soup. The ground tea is a varying mix of tea, nuts, herbs and is usually drank as a beverage, soup, or mixed with grains and legumes as a meal.

The session is conducted by our in-house culinary instructor Mary Ho, who is an experienced and international macrobiotic and whole foods educator.
