the contents of the pouch are a sweetened powdered ginseng tea. You open the pouch into about 6 oz. of hot water and drink it.

Ginseng tea packets from Korea had a subtly sweet, very earthy flavor. I drank it because I liked it. It didn't do anything discernible to me or for me.

These are already a liquid. I did cut it some herbal green ice tea. Yes very earthy and sweet. Looked on Amazon and this box is very expensive.
A little shop down the street buys and sells pallets of returned items. I just go for the food items. Lots from Costco and Amazon.
I’m either brave or dumb when it comes to trying new foods. Also cheap.

$275, on Amazon. I don’t think I’d ever pay retail. I paid $8.00. I’ve been buying the Costco protein drinks for that price too for 16 servings. One time I bought a case of 24 flavored soda water for 2 dollars. No charge for the 10 cent deposit. Got $2.40 back for the returns, so they paid me 40 cents to drink them.
