Korean Sipjeondaebo-tang Tea | Caffeine-Free 10-Herb Adaptogen Restorative Tonic | Energy & Immune Support | 3.5 oz
Kosbee Korean Sipjeondaebo-tang is an all-in-one, 10-herb restorative mix sourced directly from Korea — brewed in the traditional golden ratio of this time-honored tonic, with no artificial additives, fillers, or unverified bulk herbs.
For centuries, Korean royal physicians turned to Sipjeondaebo-tang — the "Perfect Ten Tonic" — when the body needed to be restored at its deepest level. The formula unites the Four Qi-building herbs with the Four Blood-nourishing herbs, then anchors them with two warming botanicals to amplify and circulate everything throughout the body. Kosbee brings that same time-tested ratio to your kitchen, using only hand-selected, Korea-grown ingredients.
The Perfect Ten: What's Inside
- Panax Ginseng Root (인삼 · Insam)
- The most revered adaptogenic herb in Korean tradition. Traditionally used to support sustained energy and help the body manage everyday stress — without the crash that follows caffeine. It anchors the Qi-building half of this formula.
- Astragalus Root (황기 · Hwanggi)
- Paired with ginseng for synergistic vitality support, astragalus has been used in Korean herbalism for over a thousand years. Traditionally used to support immune resilience and promote a sense of deep, stable energy.
- White Atractylodes (백출 · Baekchul)
- The digestive cornerstone of the Four Gentlemen formula (사군자탕). Traditionally used to support healthy digestion and help the body fully absorb the nourishment from the other nine herbs in the blend.
- Poria Mushroom (복령 · Bokryeong)
- A calming, grounding root fungus with a long history in Korean and East Asian herbalism. Traditionally used to support a calm mind and balanced energy, rounding out the Qi-building quartet.
- Prepared Rehmannia Root (숙지황 · Sukjihwang)
- The primary blood-nourishing herb in this formula, slow-steamed in the traditional method. Deeply warming and restorative, it forms the core of the Four Materials formula (사물탕) and gives the broth its signature dark amber color.
- Dong Quai Root (당귀 · Danggui)
- Known as "female ginseng" in East Asian herbalism, dong quai is traditionally used to support healthy blood flow and circulation. A key warming herb in this blend. Not recommended during pregnancy — see safety notes below.
- White Peony Root (백작약 · Baekjakak)
- Traditionally used in Korean medicine for its calming, nourishing properties. Works in harmony with dong quai to support balanced circulation and overall physical comfort.
- Cnidium Root (천궁 · Cheongung)
- A warming aromatic herb traditionally used to support healthy blood circulation. It contributes a subtle, earthy complexity to the broth's flavor that no single-herb tea can replicate.
- Cinnamon Bark (육계 · Yukgye)
- The warming engine of this formula. Cinnamon bark supports healthy circulation from within and gives the tonic its characteristic deep, spiced warmth — especially noticeable in cold hands and feet.
- Licorice Root (감초 · Gamcho)
- The harmonizer. In Korean herbal tradition, licorice root is added to virtually every compound formula to balance and amplify the effects of the other nine herbs — and to smooth the natural bitterness of the brew.
How to Brew Korean Sipjeondaebo-tang
Vitality Elixir Tea (Daily Tonic Decoction)
Pour the entire contents of one pack — 3.5 oz (100g) — into a pot with 2–3 qt (2–3 L) of cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then immediately reduce to the lowest possible simmer. Cook uncovered for 1½ to 2 hours, until the liquid reduces by half and turns a deep amber-brown. Strain out the herbs completely. Enjoy 1–2 cups daily, warm. If the natural bitterness is intense, a generous spoonful of honey smooths it beautifully — Herb & Honey style.
Restorative Herbal Broth (Korean Herbal Baeksuk)
Place a whole chicken or 2 lbs (900g) of bone-in pieces in a large stockpot. Add the full pack of herbs, whole garlic cloves, and enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil, then simmer for at least 1 hour. The herbs suppress gaminess, pull impurities from the meat, and infuse the broth with a rich, layered depth that defines authentic Korean herbal chicken (한방백숙). Strain the broth to use as a deeply nourishing base for other soups and stews, or serve directly.
Who This Is For
- Postpartum and recovery care: A foundational part of traditional Korean postnatal recovery, Sipjeondaebo-tang is used to help replenish energy and warmth after childbirth or extended illness — a warming, whole-food alternative to processed recovery supplements.
- Chronic fatigue and burnout: For those who want something deeper than caffeine — this adaptogenic herb blend has supported sustained vitality in Korean tradition for over 600 years. One pot brews multiple servings.
- Authentic Korean home cooking: Recreate the rich, herbaceous broth of premium Korean restaurants at home. One pack delivers the full complexity of a traditional herbal chicken soup (한방백숙) or galbi-tang base.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Sipjeondaebo-tang made with herbs from Korea?
Yes — this is a Product of Korea. Every herb in this blend is sourced directly from Korea, not from other growing regions. The full botanical name of each of the 10+ ingredients is printed on the label for complete traceability. Kosbee imports directly to ensure quality from farm to sealed pack.
How do I brew Sipjeondaebo-tang correctly at home?
Use the full 3.5 oz (100g) pack with 2–3 quarts (2–3 L) of cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to the lowest simmer for 1½–2 hours until liquid reduces by half. Strain and drink warm, 1–2 cups daily. For a gentler first brew, use more water and a shorter simmer. Honey or jujube (대추) can soften the natural bitterness.
Are there allergens or safety considerations to know?
This product contains botanical herbs only and does not contain any of the Big 9 food allergens (milk, eggs, wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, or sesame). However, this blend contains dong quai (당귀) and other warming herbs — pregnant women and nursing mothers must consult a healthcare provider before use. Avoid during active fever or acute inflammation.
How does this compare to other herbal tonic mixes?
Many comparable blends available in North American Asian grocery stores are sourced from bulk suppliers with minimal ingredient transparency. Kosbee's mix follows the complete traditional 10-herb Sipjeondaebo ratio — not a simplified approximation — using Korea-origin herbs with every ingredient individually named on the label. The hygienic resealable packaging also extends shelf life compared to loose bulk herbs.
