I did too, but apparently not.

For those not well versed in Chinese, it's 天花粉 "heaven flower powder"

The weirder thing was that it tasted and smelled slightly like burnt food.
I'm not sure if that's because it always does, similar to chicory root, or
if there was a problem during handling of my sample.

The mash came out _grey_ which was very strange as well, but that seems to
have been from particles that settled.

If you find me at Pennsic I can try to get you a sample.  I'll be
displaying 6th century grain wines at A&S on Sunday.
