The literal meaning of Mian Cha refers to flour tea in Chinese, however, this snack has nothing to do with tea. It is a type of thick porridge made from millet flour and topped with sesame paste and sesame kernels. It enjoys a great popularity among Beijing and Tianjin regions.

Unlike normal porridge which use spoons to eat, the correct way of eating Mian Cha requires no tools. Using one hand to hold the bowel, and sipping the porridge by mouth directly, only in this way, you could taste the real flavor of Mian Cha.
