It's a vine, and related to mistletoe, or so they say. :)<br /><br /> The Chinese have a habit of making tisanes out of various flora, many of which have reportedly desirable effects. I used only my tastebuds in this one's evaluation, though.<br /><br /> I was fascinated by how much it tastes like the tea-tree that it grows on, even Hobbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719619695211038389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-16586923894735402752014-01-03T19:51:55.915+00:002014-01-03T19:51:55.915+00:00Hi Hobbes.

It is apparently parasitic and related to our mistletoe (botanical name viscum liquidambaricola). It comes with some health warnings - I suspect it would not be a good idea to drink a lot!Adphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07107686680929928600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-51103353331005663892014-01-03T14:32:26.495+00:002014-01-03T14:32:26.495+00:00Dear Eugene,

Have a go, if you can find it. :)<br /><br /><br />Toodlepip,<br /><br />HobbesHobbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719619695211038389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-40843159489213098662014-01-01T16:19:54.561+00:002014-01-01T16:19:54.561+00:00I see it can be obtained from Yunnan Sourcing. mu...I see it can be obtained from Yunnan Sourcing. must give it a try with my next orderAdphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07107686680929928600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-41938448572871013232013-12-29T03:05:25.492+00:002013-12-29T03:05:25.492+00:00Greetings doctor (as in time traveller), beware th...Greetings doctor (as in time traveller), beware the laxative effects of the pangxiejiao! It is very cooling. The Lincang brick has sold out, hence it's disappearance from our website. Storage in cool, dry Lincang gives it that "slow aged" taste, quite distinct from youth masquerading as aged in my humble opinion.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10202258567472354099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-70046576311454032752013-12-27T15:59:06.439+00:002013-12-27T15:59:06.439+00:00Interesting!
