    Yes, I am looking forward to buying from teahong.com when I am interested in buying more tea. Also, I agree 250g is a lot. I could have bought 100g which is more reasonable, but bought the 250g by mistake.

    I take red yeast rice (natural statins) and niacin to lower my cholesterol. It seems I have minimal side effects from these so far. I also drink aged pu erh and I do find it helps me after a heavy meal. I am happy about the fact it contains natural statins, as my cholesterol levels tend to run high! Perhaps the medical establishment is wrong about high cholesterol being bad… but I have heart disease in my family so I would prefer not to take any risks. Anyway, I don’t really limit my diet too much. In fact, I love grass-fed milk and goat milk products (usually whole) and eat them almost every day.

    I do avoid the statin drugs as they have too many side effects for me (muscle pain.)

    I have read tea tends to contain high levels of aluminum. Wouldn’t this contribute to alzheimer’s disease?

    I also have some other teas I am drinking. One is a Japanese Sencha from Wing Hop Fung that is supposed to certified organic by Japanese, European, and US standards. It is a good tea that is bright tasting with a nice green/yellow color when brewed. Also I have Kukicha twig tea (from China) that is supposed to be organic.

    I contacted the seller regarding the Kukicha and they said it is USDA certified but they don’t generally share the certification documents for business reasons because it shows the brand name, which seems reasonable.

    I also drink Wuyang Spring Rain Organic Green tea (from Wing Hop Fung) occasionally but not often. I am not overly concerned about these teas but just though I’d mention them.
