English?, yep. Why even the writing on the side of the box is
too. ;])

It is in little individual separate pouches, sealed away from the
nasty oxidizing oxygen.

Funny though. Despite my knowing it's off the shelf corporate tea and
all that I find it half wy decent, in a medicinal kind of way.

Is this the inexpensive little Xia Guan tuos they sell for like
$0.75-1.00? I have only had the "pleasure" of trying those from them
and they were uncooked and tasted similar to making tea from an old
ashtray. They may have better cooked stuff, heck they may even have
better uncooked... but when I was there the ladies didn't know there
even was cooked/uncooked and were little help so I gave up on buying
Puerh there in NYC.

I have some ten ren puerh in tea bags in the corner of my tea
cupboard. It smells and tastes of a combination of library paste and
compost pile. It will be a while before I order more, but I think in
the meantime aging can only improve it. Toci

TenRen's tea doesn't tend to be of the highest quality. Even the
Chinese version of the shop here on the mainland, TianFu, is expensive
and usually lower quality than some of the local shops selling the
same product. "Brand power" isn't something that's considered much
here on the mainland.
