      I have read that Ginseng-infused Oolong teas should be avoided and/or
      may be harmful. Does anyone have any empirical evidence for this?
      Thanks:)

      @canucktea, I am sorry I forgot to respond on this. What people call ginseng oolong or ginseng infused oolong contains NO ginseng at all. Ginseng and tea are contradictory and should not be mixed together. Ginseng oolong, even if it’s safe from overdose of pesticides and microbe contamination, is not a suitable tea for your father. If your father wants tea, give him baked versions of the oolongs of Phoenix, Wuyi or Dongding. Ginseng oolongs are made of cheap green style oolongs and industrial grade liquorice root, if not with other additives.

      No worries, I was not thinking of this tea for my dad.

      Can you be more explicit about ginseng and tea being contradictory? I am taking wild American ginseng quite regularly according to the recommendation by a TCM doctor.

      @Betty, Leo discussed that issue before in another discussion. You were there too: https://www.teaguardian.com/dialogues/discussion/comment/2546#Comment_2546
