3-4 years old, dried roots of real Korean Ginseng (used for tea; the
best and most expensive are 6 years old) - bought in a Ginseng-store in
Seoul, Korea a few days ago: 300g for $36.50 (tax included). I bought
red and white, the red one was a sale, the white one regular. Yes, the
real thing (stamped seal etc.). In a store in Busan it would have been
even cheaper, and at the airport - I don't know.

Bye, Sanne.
