Fried Flour Tea

Last updated 2026-11-10 — Fried Flour Tea is available in various districts and counties across the city, with different preparation methods, but the most distinctive version comes from northern Kang County. It is made by boiling water with roasted white flour, seasoned with mint, patchouli, and other spices, and then mixed with Dàyè green tea—a specialty of Kang County. The tea is served in a bowl and further topped with roasted walnut flour, diced eggs, diced tofu, and diced potatoes. It is sometimes called the “Three-Tier Tower” or the “Five-Tier Tower.” In Cheng County, it is served with soaked and boiled twist dough (sanzi). It has a rich aroma, a pleasant taste, and is considered nourishing when consumed regularly. It has now entered the food market and is quite popular.
