Korean Solomon's Seal Root | Polygonatum | 5.2 oz
Kosbee Korean Solomon's Seal Root is roasted dunggulle (둥굴레, Polygonatum odoratum) grown in Korea — slow-roasted whole into a deep, nutty, toasty tea with no sugar and no caffeine, ready to steep hot or cold.
Roasting brings out a flavor deeper and nuttier than barley or brown-rice tea, with a warm, toasty aroma that makes it a satisfying caffeine-free alternative to coffee. Each resealable pouch holds 5.2 oz (147 g).
Dunggulle has grown hardy across Korea's hills and fields for generations, and roasting it the traditional way turns the root deeply nutty and toasty. Kosbee carefully roasts Korean-grown dunggulle so a single cup carries that warm, comforting aroma — a caffeine-free pour for everyday.
Also Known as Dunggulle and Yu Zhu
This root goes by several names: dunggulle (둥굴레) in Korea, Solomon's seal root in English, and Yu Zhu (玉竹) in traditional herbal circles — all from the plant Polygonatum odoratum. Kosbee uses the roasted, Korean-grown root, so you know exactly which dunggulle you are steeping.
Deeper and Nuttier Than Barley Tea
Teabag versions can taste thin and flat. Kosbee uses the whole roasted root, which steeps into a far richer, nuttier, toastier cup than barley tea (보리차) or brown-rice tea (현미차) — the kind of comforting flavor coffee drinkers reach for, without the caffeine.
It is a Product of Korea, roasted and packed so the aroma stays fresh in the resealable pouch.

How to Brew Korean Solomon's Seal Root
For hot tea, simmer 0.35 to 0.7 oz (10 to 20 g) in 1 quart (about 1 liter) of water; bring to a boil, then steep on low for 15 to 20 minutes.
For cold brew, chill the brewed tea in the fridge — the nutty flavor tastes especially clean and crisp served cold.
With no caffeine and a deep, toasty taste, it's an easy everyday cup in place of coffee.
How to Enjoy It Safely
It is a gentle, everyday tea, but if you have a sensitive stomach or loose digestion, start with a lighter brew and enjoy it in moderation.
It is 100% Polygonatum, so if you have a plant allergy, check the label.
If you are pregnant or nursing, giving it to children, or take prescription medication, talk to your doctor first.
