Hi Richard! Thanks for your comment. I totally get what you are saying; after being diagnosed with age-related dementia five or six years ago, my 89-year-old grandmother now drinks An Ji Bai Cha daily for her brain health and has been able to get off of her Aricept. She believes that it is because of the tea, and there is plenty of research to back up her beliefs. I obviously can't dispense medical advice, and tea is not a panacea, but I have seen way too many people who get astounding results from tea to be surprised that it outperformed Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory drugs in one study, or improved Parkinson's in another. The point of my post, though, was that we get to enjoy tea for both it's health benefits AND for the pure hedonistic pleasure of experiencing tea in its fullness.
