Korean Job's Tears Tea | Macadamia Walnut Almond Yulmu | 10 Sticks
Korean Job's Tears Tea with macadamia, walnut, and almond (마카다미아 호두 아몬드 율무차) is a 10-stick box of instant nutty grain drink powder made in Korea by Danongwon (다농원). Each 0.63 oz (18 g) stick blends roasted rice and bean powders, peanut, crushed almond, macadamia, and walnut, and Job's tears powder with a creamy base, so a warm, toasty cup takes only hot water or milk.
Think of it as the beige, nutty yulmu-cha Koreans sip on a cold afternoon, with real nut pieces in every stick.
At Kosbee, we hand-select authentic Korean foods and bring them to North America. Danongwon is a Korean tea maker in Eumseong, Chungcheongbuk-do, that produces its drink powders in a HACCP-certified facility.
What Is Yulmu-cha (Job's Tears Tea)?
Yulmu (율무) is Job's tears (Coix lacryma-jobi), a grass seed that Korea has long ground into a warm, porridge-like drink called yulmu-cha. Most Korean instant versions are nutty and lightly sweet. In this stick, peanut and roasted grain powders lead the flavor, while Job's tears powder, almond, macadamia, and walnut add the classic yulmu-cha taste and texture.

Yulmu-cha vs Misugaru
Both are Korean grain drinks, but they taste different. Misugaru is a roasted multigrain powder that is usually unsweetened and mixed cold, while yulmu-cha is a sweet, creamy, nutty cup most often served warm. If you like grain lattes, compare it with our Korean Ube Grain Latte.
Storage, Allergens, and Good to Know
Store in a dry, cool place to keep the flavor and aroma. Once a stick is open, mix it right away.
Contains: Milk, Soy, Peanuts, and Tree nuts (walnut, almond, macadamia). Made in a facility that also processes peach, wheat, and buckwheat.
