Korean Macadamia Ssanghwa Tea | Instant Herbal Tea Mix | 10 Sticks

Korean Macadamia Ssanghwa Tea (마카다미아 쌍화차) is a 10-stick box of instant ssanghwa tea powder made in Korea by Danongwon (다농원). Each 0.53 oz (15 g) stick pairs the deep, spiced flavor of traditional ssanghwa tea with crushed walnut, almond, and macadamia pieces and jujube, so a warm, nutty cup takes only hot water.

Think of it as the dark herbal tea of an old Korean teahouse, ready in a mug in under a minute, with a few nut pieces floating on top.

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 Ssanghwa Tea?

Ssanghwa-cha (쌍화차) is one of Korea's most familiar traditional teas: a dark, bittersweet brew of roots such as angelica, cnidium, peony, rehmannia, and astragalus with cinnamon, licorice, and jujube. Teahouses often serve it topped with nuts and jujube slices. This instant version blends two ssanghwa concentrate powders with sugar and adds the nuts right in the stick.

What's Inside Each Stick

Ssanghwa Herb Concentrates

Angelica root and cnidium rhizome (Korea), white peony root, astragalus root, prepared rehmannia root, cinnamon, and licorice, extracted and dried into powder.

Nuts and Jujube

Walnut (USA), almond (USA), macadamia (Australia), and jujube (Korea) for a toasty, chewy finish.

Sweetness

Sugar is the first ingredient, followed by maltodextrin, so it is sweet straight from the stick.

Instant Ssanghwa Sticks vs a Whole-Herb Ssanghwa Mix

These sticks dissolve in seconds and are already sweetened, with nuts included. If you prefer to simmer the herbs yourself with no added sugar, try our Korean Ssanghwa Tea 12-herb mix, which brews a large pot on the stove.

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.
