意味（1）

(rare) A dish, popular in Burma, consisting of pickled or fermented tea leaves (encountered in the West especially as tea leaf salad).

[How long the tea] leaves stay underground is largely determined by the price the leaves would sell for; in other words, a laphet producer waits until the price is favorable enough to justify the effort of emptying out the pit all at once. According to locals, the best quality laphet is made in the Shan State hills [... which] area also produces black and green tea, for drinking.
