大山行 aka Great Mountain Ginseng is an Asian health food store in Times Square that specializes mainly in raw ginseng, various ginseng products/wholesale supplements, and other Chinese delicacies like bird's nest and cordyceps (a worm-like fungus... yea lol).
One really cool fact is that they own their own ginseng farm in Niagara-On-The-Lake, Ontario; they have been operating for over 30 years (since 1976!) and still going strong. The farm attracts many tourists every year to see first hand how the ginseng plant is grown :)
But the main reason why I am review this is that my coworker has been raving about this in-house brand of Instant Milk Tea blended with 100% Ontario ginseng powder. She has been buying them as souvenirs to bring back to her home country, and her family and relatives love it. So I have decided to buy a box to try, and I have to say, it is very aromatic and flavourful.
There are 10 sticks of instant mix powder in each box and all you need is 180ml of hot water per cup, give it a stir and enjoy :) The store is currently selling $8 per box or $15 for 2 boxes... not much of a deal but still good to have a box at home, just in case a milk tea craving hits lol. read more
