🌿 Discover the Wellness in Every Sip: Traditional Korean Herbal Teas
Korea is known not only for K-beauty and K-pop, but also for its rich traditions in food and wellness — and herbal tea is a beautiful part of that legacy. Korean herbal teas are not just delicious; they are crafted from natural ingredients known for their health benefits, some passed down for generations.
Unlike commercial teas that focus only on flavor, traditional Korean teas emphasize gently nurturing the body in a natural way. They are full of beneficial natural ingredients and deeply rooted in tradition.
Here are a few of Korea’s most beloved traditional teas, each offering its own unique story and health benefits:
