Does anyone know what Hwang tea is? I tried a sample of this, but
couldn't find any good reference to it in a google search.

Hey Linda, It is actually called "Sang-Hwang" tea. It is a medicinal
Chinese herbal tea. I found this info and it summed it up pretty well
and gives enough info for further research:

"Phellinus Linteus Tea
Phellinus Linteus, a medicinal fungus known as "Sang-Hwang" are
extremely rare to find in the nature. It has been proven to have
anti-carcinogenic effects by fully restoring the human immune system.
Clinical tests show that Sang-hwang extracts are highly effective in
treatment and preventive treatment of liver cancer, stomach cancer,
lung cancer, and other cancers,
Our product is made of natural Phellinus Linteus growing in North Korea
..It is extracted and concentrated using sophisticated equipment and
advanced technology."

I'm not up on all the Chinese medicinal herbs and such, and have no
real knowledge of the claims or benefits of Sang-Hwang... Just thought
I'd point you in the right direction.

Thanks Dominic! Based on the description you found, it is actually a
fungi, (http://www.webvitamins.com/Nutrient.aspx?id=4154) though the
sample that I had definitely looked like leaf. I'll have to look into
it some more.

Hwang in chinese could either be yellow or emperor.

You do not say what country your tea is from. In Korea, where tea is
almost all green, Hwang-cha is the name used for tea that has been
'fermented' (oxidized) to a fairly advanced degree during the drying,
so that it has the kind of taste I generally associate with Taiwanese
'Oriental Beauty' -- well on the way to becoming a rather light kind of
red tea (known in English as black).

i'm not sure what you refer to, but in chinese offical tea
classification, Huang/yellow Tea is one of the six biggest categories,
the other is green, white, red, black and grey(qing, say, oulong,
tieguanyin,yancha).

I didn't even think of that, I just took the word "Hwang" for granted
as correct not accounting for maybe just a misspelling. That may very
well be the case here... if so sorry to get you off track on the crazy
Korean fungi angle... but hey I'm a fun-gi!
