2 Boxes of Hand Selected American Ginseng Root-Small Tail (4oz/Box) 西洋参/花旗参 Panax Ginseng. Boosts Body Immunity, Energy & Stamina for Man & Women

Good quality

It is a good present for a friend.

So, I bought this ginseng for my family to use as I have a pot of herbal tea that quite literally does not stop brewing until Spring. My usual concoction is wild chaga, American ginseng, reishi, cordyceps, and shatavari. I will tweak it here and there. I will commonly add jujube dates and wild turkey tail mushrooms. That said, these American ginseng roots are potent. They can be used to brew many rounds of tea. The roots aren’t too small, but are definitely not the biggest roots, either. I actually prefer smaller roots, as it helps me control how much ginseng I am using at any given time; kinda makes me feel like I get “more bang for my buck.” However, when I received my order, I weighed out the roots myself, and they came up short. That’s why I’m deducting 1 star. Honestly, I wish I could do a half-star here as the ‘sang itself was a great deal: it’s potent, not bitter nor acrid, sweet, and I feel is definitely helping me brave the winter season. While everyone around me was sick with COVID for Christmas and New Years, I stayed healthy and illness free. All in all, I recommend trying this brand and I would purchase again from this company.

the taste of this is different and the color is also different. there are somehow musty smell

I know American ginseng grows much smaller than Asian. these must be yearlings, though. I prefer Asian red so it may be that but I found these very small, very weak on flavor, not much effect after a week or so. Let just say I'm underwhelmed.
