The Miao are a linguistically and culturally related group of people recognized by the government of the People's Republic of China as one of the 55 official minority groups. You Tea (Oil Tea) is the major drink for the Miao people. The Miao people like to use BaBao You Tea to feast their most honored guests. “BaBao” refers to the many kinds of cereal and nuts they use in the tea, such as sun dried corn, soy bean, peanut, rice pancake, tofu and glass noodles. All of the components are fried in hot oil until crisp, and then will be put into a bowl or teacup for the drink. 

The next step is to fry the tea. The housewives use tea oil in an iron pot. When the oil is hot, they put tea leaves and Sichuan pepper inside to stir fry, until the color of the tea leave become yellow. Then they put water and ginger inside the pot, add garlic and pepper after the water is boiling. At last the drinker put the boiling tea soup into the bowl or cup to mix with the other fried nuts.  

The BaBao You tea is very tasteful and nourish for the drinkers. It is considered the most respecting ceremony for the guests.
