I revisited it this week and was again impressed given its price and ridiculous packaging.<BR/><BR/>Ir reminds me of creamsicles - that childhood (in the US, anyway) summertime ice cream confection of orange sherbert and cream. I'm not sure it has the guts for the long haul, but for now it is a nice tea to have around.Scottohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04656973438961641057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-20188807197438570972009-04-06T09:18:00.000+01:002009-04-06T09:18:00.000+01:00Actually, I still don't know if it's the same bric...Actually, I still don't know if it's the same brick as that which was originally labelled "Yiwu Zhengshan Co.".

Had I known it was the same simple yet satisfying brick as before, I would not have hesitated.<BR/><Tony Shlonginihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15818633701585344725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-9630580861342584982009-04-05T21:02:00.000+01:002009-04-05T21:02:00.000+01:00Thanks for a great review.
