Ive been curious about this type of tea for a long time:
I came across some in a Chinese store $16/8 oz. It was batched from a larger more expensive package which didnt specify the origin. Im sure it is made in one place but havent researched it yet. I know it is a specialty of TenRen. I am sort of allergic to ginseng but this didnt bother me. It was mild and sweet. I think the coating minimal. You are looking at the fifth infusion. Notice some nuggets havent opened up. I have Taiwan aged tea which is repeatedly baked over several years. The burnt taste reminded me of it. The infused leaf color almost black but a dark green looks like the Taiwan baked tea. It looks like one pod one leaf. I am now on my 9th infusion with plenty of taste.
