>>> If you have access to a Korean cooking machine, decoct a

month's worth at a time and travel with the tea (it is heavy, though).

Granules are the easiest.

These are large, often pressurized machines made of stainless steel or

occassionally glass or ceramic material. They are designed

specifically for cooking Chinese herbs, and allow temp and pressure

controlled cooking of about 30 large packs at a time. The cooking

machines are typically attached to a packing machine that dispenses

the decoction in little vacuum-sealed heat-resistant plastic pouches.

It allows for ease of cooking, storage, and portability but it

provides the benefits of raw decoctions. Nice technology.

 

These machines were originally from Korea but a few Chinese companies

make them as well. Typically it is just different companies

assembling the same root parts. They are now very popular in Chinese

pharmacies in the PRC, and have a widespread presence in Taiwan,

Korea, and the US Korean community.

Just go to: http://www.kyungseo.co.kr They have several pictures of

cooking and packing machines. Also, I know that the Zion Korean

supermarket in San Diego has a bunch of nice glass machines on display

(for southern Cal folks who want to see the machines in person).
