" What do you think an herb *should* taste like, and why do

you think this? "

 

That's hard to explain but I'll try.

 

Mintong had a more complex taste. The formula I ordered

from all the four companies was Yu Ping Feng san. Treasure

of the East tasted like malt. That was a big sweet taste,

but flat. KPC tasted like fish food. I don't suppose there

is any reason for amine compounds to be in there, but

that's what it smelled and tasted like. Lotus tasted ok.

 

KPC and Treasure of the East did not taste like herbs.

Herbs have volatile compunds that make them more scented

and flavorful. I think of herb tastes as being plant like,

but not like a vegetable. The Min Tong Yu Ping Feng san had

a slightly sour, complex taste, with some sweet elements as

well. The taste reminded me of the smell of He Huan Hua and

Bai Shao. I know those herbs weren't in there, but I would

rather have my powder smell like that than like strong malt

beer or fish food.
