The package was bigger than I expected. It looks fresh. This is my first purchase, but I'm going to try making tea with it.
Pinochan
My first time trying these. They have a bit of a musty smell out of the bag, but they're sweet and plump up nicely when cooked. They still have the seeds in, so remember to remove them before cooking. I recently learned about TCM, and this does help me feel warmer when consumed.
