Notes from the hills - The dark side of tea

Sidman, do you mean "chang", the local all-purpose medicine (made from
fermented millet) ?
This afternoon my friend Pema returned from Sikkim with a "Tongba"
(bamboo mug with straw) and some 5 kg of homemade Chang for me. He
probably prepares the most dangerous chang I ever had in Sikkim, I
usually swallow a handful of Aspirins, Vitamin B & C and a bottle of
"Liv(er) 52" before I dive into it.
Mighty tasty stuff though.
