Ja Aum

An authentic true black tea of Bhutan. Fermented in oak ash over an extremely labour intensive 8 day process, this tea forms the base of “Suja”, the famed butter tea of the Himalayan highlanders that has been consumed for millennia.

The benefits of suja

Suja isn’t just a treat to the taste buds, there are health benefits too.

The salt in suja moisturises your skin by retaining moisture, giving it a healthy glow. The drink also helps with digestion by reducing the acidity level in your stomach.

Furthermore, the calories increase energy level, which is also a reason it is well-loved among the Bhutanese, especially those in the mountainous areas who work long, hard hours on difficult terrain. 

Moreover, suja is rich in antioxidants which helps to combat the free radicals in your body. It prevents the deposition of plague and other bacteria in the brain too, hence improving brain health. 

Other benefits of suja include reducing altitude sickness and its anti-diabetic properties.
