Jeongnongsam 6-Year Korean Red Ginseng Roots | Whole Geumsan Roots | 10.6 oz

Jeongnongsam 6-Year Korean Red Ginseng Roots are whole, steamed-and-dried red ginseng roots grown for six years in Geumsan, South Korea — a region long known for ginseng. The large, intact roots are ready to slice and brew into traditional ginseng tea. Sold by Kosbee and shipped from our New Jersey warehouse.

Geumsan has been at the heart of Korean ginseng for centuries. These six-year-old roots are steamed and dried into red ginseng, then graded as large “daepyeon” roots — the traditional choice for a slow-simmered ginseng tea at home.

About Jeongnongsam Red Ginseng Roots

This is whole Korean red ginseng — six-year-old roots from Geumsan, steamed and dried the traditional way, with no fillers or additives. Each tin holds roughly 11 to 20 large whole roots.

The 10.6 oz (300 g) tin is generously sized for regular brewing.

What's Inside

Korean Red Ginseng (6-Year Root)

Whole ginseng root grown for six years in Geumsan, South Korea, then steamed and dried into red ginseng. It naturally contains ginseng saponins (ginsenosides).

Large “Daepyeon” Grade

Roughly 11 to 20 large, intact roots per tin — the large “daepyeon” size grade — with no fillers, additives, or sweeteners.

Naturally Vegan & Caffeine-Free

Made from ginseng root only, so it suits vegan and vegetarian routines and contains no caffeine.

How to Brew It

• Add the roots to a pot with about 30 fl oz (0.9 L) of water, 3 jujube dates, and a little ginger (about 3 g).
• Use about 2 oz (50–60 g) of roots per brew for occasional drinking, or about ½ oz (12–20 g) for regular daily drinking. Children under 15 use about half.
• Simmer gently over low heat until the liquid reduces to about one-third.
• Divide into 2 to 3 servings through the day, and add a little honey to sweeten if you like. Store in a cool, dry place.

What Makes It Different

These are whole six-year Korean roots from Geumsan, steamed into red ginseng and left intact — not sliced, powdered, or extracted. Whole roots let you control each brew and see exactly what you're using.

The 10.6 oz (300 g) tin is sourced by Kosbee and shipped from our New Jersey warehouse, so you skip the long wait of overseas shipping.

Good to know: if you are pregnant, nursing, or take blood sugar or blood-thinning medication, consult a healthcare professional before use. Keep out of reach of children.
