擂茶: Pounded Tea: Hakka Traditional Beverage.

Hakka people cite a legend that tells how pounded tea, lei cha, was drunk initially. In the Three Kingdoms period, as the general Chang-Fei attacked Wuling, his soldiers were infected by a plague. An old herbal doctor then used some concoction to ward off the plague: raw rice, raw tea and raw ginger were mixed with boiling water to make pulverized tea. After drinking this tea, soldiers regain their health. This explains how lai cha has another name ‘Three Raw Materials Soup’.
