Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) is the knobby tuber of a sunflower-family plant, long dried and brewed in Korea as a gentle, nutty tea. Each box holds 20 tea bags of 1 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003eKosbee stocks Korean pantry staples the way they are drunk in Korea.

The sunchoke chips go into pyramid-shaped mesh tea bags, which give water more room to circulate than flat paper bags, and each bag is individually sealed so the box stays fresh to the last cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eIngredient\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eJerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) — 100%, single ingredient\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eKorean name\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e돼지감자 (dwaeji gamja)\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eNet weight\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e20 g (0.7 oz) — 20 tea bags × 1 g\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eTea bag\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003ePyramid mesh bag (nylon filter), individually sealed\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eOrigin\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eProduct of Korea — Jerusalem artichoke grown in Korea\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eCertification\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eHACCP (Korea Ministry of Food and Drug Safety)\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eCaffeine\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eNaturally caffeine-free\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eNutrition (per 1 g bag, 1 cup)\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e0 calories, 0 g sugars, 0 mg sodium — as printed on the pack's Nutrition Facts panel\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eAllergens\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eNone declared on the label (single ingredient; contains no milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, or sesame)\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eStorage\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eCool, dry place away from direct sunlight; reseal after opening.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to brew Jerusalem artichoke tea\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you brew a hot cup?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollow the pack directions: steep one tea bag in about 3.4 fl oz (100 mL) of hot water at around 176°F (80°C) for 1–2 minutes, then sip. For a larger mug, use more water and leave the bag in a little longer for a deeper, nuttier cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you drink it iced?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Brew it strong with two bags, cool, and pour over ice — or drop one or two bags into a 1-liter bottle of cold water and refrigerate for 3–4 hours for a clean, mild cold brew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSafety \u0026amp; good to know\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJerusalem artichoke is naturally rich in inulin, a fermentable fiber — in sensitive people, large amounts can cause gas or bloating, so start with one cup and see how it sits. Avoid it if you are allergic to sunflower-family (Asteraceae) plants. If you are pregnant, nursing, or take medication, check with your healthcare provider before drinking it regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eJerusalem artichoke vs artichoke — are they the same?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The globe artichoke is a thistle bud eaten as a vegetable; the Jerusalem artichoke is the tuber of a sunflower-family plant, closer in look to ginger root. Korean dwaeji gamja tea is always the tuber — dried and brewed like a grain tea, with a mild, nutty, lightly sweet taste rather than a vegetal one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eJerusalem artichoke tea vs burdock root tea — what's the difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are Korean caffeine-free root teas brewed like grain tea, but they come from different plants. Burdock tea (ueong-cha) is made from the long taproot of Arctium lappa and tastes deeper and more woody; Jerusalem artichoke tea comes from the knobby tuber of Helianthus tuberosus and drinks lighter, nuttier, and faintly sweet. If you want a mild everyday cup, start with dwaeji gamja.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eJerusalem Artichoke Tea FAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Korean Jerusalem artichoke tea (돼지감자차)?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a caffeine-free Korean root tea made from 100% dried Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus), the tuber Koreans call dwaeji gamja. It brews into a mild, nutty, lightly sweet cup, and this box holds 20 individually sealed 1 g pyramid tea bags.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it the same as artichoke tea?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Despite the shared name, Jerusalem artichoke is the tuber of a sunflower-family plant, not the globe artichoke vegetable. Korean dwaeji gamja tea is always the dried tuber, brewed like a grain tea with a gentle, nutty taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSunchoke, Jerusalem artichoke, dwaeji gamja — are they the same thing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Sunchoke is the North American market name, Jerusalem artichoke the traditional English name, and dwaeji gamja (돼지감자) the Korean name — all for the tuber of Helianthus tuberosus, a sunflower-family plant. This tea is made from that one tuber, grown in Korea, and none of the names refers to the globe artichoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I brew it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePer the pack directions, steep one tea bag in 3.4 fl oz (100 mL) of hot water at about 176°F (80°C) for 1–2 minutes. For iced tea, brew it strong and pour over ice, or cold-brew bags in the refrigerator. It is caffeine-free, so it suits any time of day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I steep it in cold water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The pyramid mesh bags steep well in cold water: drop one or two bags into a 1-liter bottle of cold water and refrigerate for 3–4 hours for a clean, mild cold brew. Hot brewing at about 176°F (80°C) for 1–2 minutes gives a deeper, nuttier cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere does this ship from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrders ship from the Kosbee warehouse in New Jersey, usually within 1 business day, with tracking emailed at dispatch. The tea itself is dried and packed in Korea, so you get the Korean-market staple without an international wait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eShipping, returns and storage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShips from New Jersey, usually within 1 business day.
