"Emach" none ha scritto nel messaggio ... Can anyone provide some information on these two teas. I don't think Kuding is actually tea, but some other herb. I cannot find much on the internet, but have heard these have healthful properties. The Chinese sources I have indicate the scientific name of Kuding tea as Ilex kudingcha Tseng. . The gunus Ilex is the same of Mate (Ilex paraguaiensis). I personally do not like it, even if it is apreciated for it medical properties: cooling, purifying and dispelling hangover. I think that with a few cups of some green Pu'er I can have all this and also something good to drink!

The only batch I've tasted was insanely bitter, but I've seen claims that that isn't always so. I believe Languiren is a true tea, an oolong from Yunnan province. /Lew --- Lew Perin / http://www.panix.com/~perin/babelcarp.html

Thanks for the info. It's interesting Kuding is of the genus Ilex, as I do
enjoy a cup of Mate in the morning. I guess I'll stick to the Pu'er I recently purchased from M&J's - the mushroom shaped green. By the way, is it true that Pu'er could not be imported into the US at one time? "Emach" none wrote in message ... Can anyone provide some information on these two teas.

Yes, prior to 1995 it was illegal to import it into the US. Presumably
because of the microbial nature of the tea. US authorities were afraid of what they did not understand.

Cautious of what they didn't know, surely. I doubt the authorities lacked the ability to comprehend the information once they had it. Cheers, - Joel

I don't want to be polemical, and I want to apologize to everybody for using this space for this kind of totally tea unrelated remarks, but I couldn't resist: Cautious of what they didn't know, surely. I doubt the authorities lacked the ability to comprehend the information once they had it. ....well, personally, seeing the interpretation of intelligence reports about the situation of mass destruction weapons in a certain country in the Middle East, well, if I was American, I will start to have some doubt about the ability of the authorities to comprehend the information even once they had it.
