Oh yeah, I haven't tried it, I just wanted to see what do you think about
the ingredients. Could it be good?

Really doubt it's good. I've had (and still have a bit) of a german
tisane made of various fruit pieces that was sold in clear packaging
and looked **really** attractive, and the trouble is, the taste is too
sour. Even if you brew it very lightly. So that strawberry is going to
sour it up, ginger is in itself very strong-flavoured so it's going to
overpower white and green tea, so you'll moustly get sour spicy taste
with a hint of vegetal astringency. Unless they put in really tiny
amount of ginger and strawberry. Really a waste of silver needle and
pai mu tan, if they're good grade. Tell them to send silver needles
and pai mu tan over here, it will taste the same anyway :P.

They packaged all their other teas and tisanes, and that is what they
had left over. The onions and butter were in the kitchen
refrigerator. Toci

Shen, a question in answer to yours: What would a vendor do with the dregs of tea and other ingredients at the bottom of their respective bins that they might otherwise have tossed out? Hmmmm? Hmmmmm!

I guess my naivete speaks too loudly. It's also an unfathomable case
of "getting what the market will bear" or just another "take the
customer" tea.
Americans, and Germans, I understand, drink Gummi Bear flavoured tea -
so, what the hell......?!
