Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about our Myanmar Tea Leaf products.

Paline Organic

We have two categories of Paline products – our organic fermented tea and a selection of fried nuts, seeds and beans.

We have two types – organic fermented tea leaves and organic fermented tea paste.

You’ll find our tea at Ocean Super Centers and City Marts all over Myanmar, or you can order online for delivery to your door. To place an order, please get in touch and provide a telephone number.

All our organic fermented tea leaves, beans, nuts and seeds start at 5000MMK.

Paline is a premium brand of tea, which means we select only the very best tea leaves and support our farmers with extensive training in organic growing. By its nature, organic tea is also more expensive to produce, and is tested at every stage, from farm to fork. We’re also certified by international organisations including Organic EU and USDA.

To place an order, simply contact us with your telephone number or call 09970700111 and we’ll deliver to your door (Yangon and Mandalay city area). If you live outside these areas, we can delivery to the nearest coach station.

To pay for an order, you can use KBZ mobile banking.

Our 170g pack includes almond seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, chickpeas, walnuts, cashews nuts and sliced fried garlic. It costs 5,000 kyats per pack.

We have a variety of options available, some with the sour and spicy taste, and others with natural flavours of tea.

Our 200g sesame tea leaves/paste cost 5000 kyats per bottle.

Unopened, the bottle is airtight and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three months. Once opened, it can be stored at room temperature for around one month.

Our organic tea is systematically tested from the time of cultivation to the time of production. We’re certified by internationally recognised organisations, including Organic EU and USDA.

Shan Shwe Taung

Our Shan Shwe Taung products include Shu-Shae sour & spicy fermented tea, Gin-Mwe ginger fermented tea, Pindaya fermented tea, assorted fried mix, special assorted fried mix and Shwe-Ou Kyaw.

If you prefer a gentler flavour, our Gin-Mwe ginger and Zayan fermented teas are delicious alternatives.

Our products contain natural ingredients and are certified by the FDA and HACCP.

It’s true! Shu-Shae contains the following ingredients: Tea Leaf, Carambola (Starfruit), Tamarind Leaf, Chilli, Garlic, Vegetable Oil, Seasoning Powder (MSG), Salt and Sodium Benzoate (E211)

No, our Gin-Mwe has a subtler flavour of natural ginger and fermented tea leaf.

Zayan and Pindaya fermented teas are suitable for adults.

You’ll find our products in City Marts, Ocean Shops and grocery stores across Myanmar. We also have two stores in Mandalay, Myanmar.

The expiry dates are printed on the packs. They can keep for up to six months.
