About Lei cha

Lei Cha, also known as thunder tea rice, is a traditional Hakka tea-based dish originating from southern China. This nutrient-rich meal consists of a vibrant green tea broth made by grinding tea leaves, herbs, and nuts into a paste, which is then boiled. It’s served over rice and topped with an assortment of finely chopped vegetables, such as bok choy, mustard greens, and leeks, along with tofu, peanuts, and sometimes dried greens. Lei Cha is celebrated for its health benefits, offering a balance of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants from the vegetables and tea, along with protein and healthy fats from nuts and tofu. Its herbal components also support digestion and detoxification. However, its nutritional profile depends on preparation and toppings; fried or overly processed add-ons may increase calories and fats, so it's best enjoyed with fresh and steamed ingredients for maximum health benefits.
