Korean White Ginseng Root | 4-Year Geumsan Goksam (Panax) | 2.13 oz
Kosbee Korean White Ginseng Root is whole, 4-year-old Panax ginseng — baeksam (백삼) — grown in Geumsan, Korea's most famous ginseng region, dried in the traditional bent-root (goksam) form, with no additives, ready to simmer into tea or samgyetang.
At four years, the roots are well-balanced — rich in character without the harsh bitterness of older roots — so they make a smoother cup. Each pack carries an official quality certificate, and holds 2.13 oz (60 g).
Among the world's many ginsengs, the Korean root — and Geumsan above all — has long been the most treasured, prized for its rich character and balance. Kosbee chooses 4-year-old roots, dried in the traditional curled goksam form to keep them whole, and backs each pack with an official quality certificate.
Certified, From Geumsan, Korea
Counterfeit and mislabeled ginseng is common, so the most important question is whether it's really Korean. Each Kosbee pack carries the official Korean ginseng inspection certificate, verifying the root's age, grade, and origin.
It's grown in Geumsan, Korea's foremost ginseng region — a Product of Korea you can trust.
4-Year Roots, Whole Goksam Form
Kosbee selects 4-year-old roots for their balance, then dries them curled in the traditional goksam way to keep the whole root intact — not ground into a powder or pressed into a capsule.
You get the real, whole root to brew or cook with, exactly as Korean tea and soup traditions use it.

How to Brew Korean White Ginseng Root
For tea, simmer 1 to 2 whole roots in 1 quart (about 1 liter) of water on low heat for at least an hour. Ginseng is naturally bitter, so simmering it with jujube and adding honey rounds it into a smoother, sweeter cup.
For samgyetang, add 1 to 2 roots when boiling a chicken for a deeper, more aromatic Korean herbal soup.
For a ginseng-honey infusion, slice a root, layer it in a jar of honey, and let it steep — then spoon a little over tea or toast.
How to Enjoy It Safely
Ginseng has a warming, lively character, so many people prefer to drink it earlier in the day rather than late at night.
If you have high blood pressure or take prescription medication, talk to your doctor before drinking it regularly, and it's best not to take it with large amounts of caffeine.
If you are pregnant or nursing, talk to your doctor before drinking it.
