Kudingcha
I enjoyed the discussion of kudingcha and found this.
http://www.itmonline.org/arts/kudingcha.htm As a member of the Ilex (holly) family, that would make it first cousin to yerba mate, also strong and bitter, and also full of medicinal properties. The kudingcha has a high number of saponins. Somehow, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see even more "teas" that are old traditianla herbal medicines being introduced just as rooibos has gained in popularity recently. C.W.
