Customer Reviews
I ordered a pound of heaven grade Korean ginseng. It arrived in a box. Inside the box was a USPS mailer. Inside the mailer envelope was a tin as long as a shoebox and half is wide. The tin had no known opening and was sealed at both ends like a can. Attempts to pry, cut or puncture the tin did not produce a way to open it. Neither did a hacksaw. Finally after 20 minutes of using a wire cutter tool I was able to peel back enough of the tin to expose a plastic bag that was sealed. After much pulling, I was able to extract the bag from the can. The bag contained several more layers of decorated wrapping paper and then another plastic bag around a wooden box that had no known opening. Further inspection of the box revealed that it had a sliding top. Upon opening the sliding top, there was another layer of paper covering and then the ginseng, which I have been using a large knife and a hammer to break off a piece every day. Yummy!
