Regional/Cultural Day
Suja Nyi
Suja, the butter tea that fuels Bhutan, is churned, not stirred, and any Bhutanese grandmother will smack your hand if you try to whisk it. The tea is brewed strong, then churned with yak butter and salt in a wooden vessel until it froths. First-timers always make a face, and locals always laugh. You learn to love it or you learn to fake it, because refusing suja in a Bhutanese home is refusing the family's warmth.
