BTW, in TCM the base herbal formula for Yin Chao (a flu.cold remedy)
called sometimes called "Yin Tu" and also the formula is dried and
looks like green tea. Are you sure this is camellia sinesis?
Also, oregano, another remedy, is called Tu Yin.
Why not ask at the shop? I've been to I Dream Of Tea in Evanston and
the young couple that own the shop are very, very knowlegeable,
especially the wife.
