La Storia
Despite the name, there is no tea involved. It is a highly caloric, textural masterpiece designed to provide sustained energy for manual laborers.
Segreto Locale
"Seek out older residential 'hutongs' near Liziba for vendors like Dawang Youcha. You must rapidly mix the crispy toppings deep into the porridge immediately to prevent them from getting soggy."
