Ginseng

Ginseng is the slow-growing root of a plant native to the mountain forests of Korea, northeast China and parts of North America. It has an earthy, woody flavor with a gentle bitter-sweet balance and a slightly savory finish. In tea, ginseng is often paired with green tea, oolong and herbal blends, and it works nicely with ginger, lemongrass, mint and citrus. It has been treasured in Korean and Chinese tea culture for centuries, where ginseng tea is a classic gift for family and friends.
