Everything you need to brew real Himalayan Tongba at home, no experience needed. Cook the millet, ferment it with a traditional starter, then pour hot water over the grains and sip through the Pipsing as the flavor wakes up.

What's in the box

  • 2 lbs red finger millet (uncooked)
  • Yeast starter, 1.6 oz (45 g), in your choice of strain below
  • 1 traditional aluminum straw (Pipsing)
  • 1 reusable organic cotton bag (14 x 12 in) for fermenting and straining
  • Step by step brewing guidance

Choose your starter

  • Murcha Style: the traditional choice, tangy and full of heritage flavor.
  • Easy Everest Edition: clean, crisp, and smooth.

How it works

Cook the millet, mix in the starter, and let it ferment. Pack the fermented millet into a Tongba vessel, pour hot water over it, wait a few minutes, and sip through the Pipsing. Top up with hot water and repeat, 3 to 5 rounds from a single batch.
