great thread. that tea is really neat. i was checking out their website and trying to figure out why it's in that compressed hockey puck shape and couldn't really find anything. anyone have an idea how these work? from what they had on the site, it sounds like you just stick it in a cup and pour water over it.
looks like some interesting stuff though.
In China Fu Cha is known as the Miraculous tea from the Silk Road Fucha tea is still a vital part of the daily regime the nomadic peoples of Northwest China, Mongolia and Tibet they drink Fu Cha every day without fail consuming more than 18kg per person every year. The nomadic people of these areas live in an extremely harsh climate year in and out where it is cold and dry. Their dietary intake consists of eating quite a lot of meat with high fat content - such as beef and lamb, there are very little vegetables available and yet these people do not display the incidence of obesity and other physical ailments that affect western society today. They believe the reason for this is that they consume Fu Cha on a daily basis.
:happy: honestly, the only reason it really caught my eye when i first saw it was it looked like something else green and leafy. seems like such a weird way to serve up tea. i'm wondering if you're supposed to drink the leaves with it or what?
I recently went to a shop that sold that stuff. In Kuwait. It was a tea specialist in a really expensive mall. Strange shop to find in between Polo and Digit Mac store !
awesome! seems like it would be a pretty strange place... yet equally fascinating. i really would like to take a trip through the middle east sometime. anyway, i'll stop derailing now... haha
