Korean Angelica Root | Sliced Dang Gui (Angelica gigas) | 5.3 oz
Kosbee Korean Angelica Root is pre-sliced dang gui — the Korean species Angelica gigas (참당귀) — grown in Korea, with no added sugar or fat, sliced to an even thickness so it brews quickly for tea or simmers easily into broths.
It has a deep, earthy aroma and a subtle natural sweetness, and just a few slices lift the flavor of a whole pot. A little goes a long way. Each resealable pouch holds 5.3 oz (150 g).
Angelica — dang-gui — has been a treasured aromatic root in Korean kitchens and tea for centuries, prized for the deep, fragrant, earthy-sweet note it brings to a simmering pot. Kosbee selects thick Korean roots and slices them at the ideal thickness for brewing and cooking.
Korean Angelica gigas, Not Chinese Dong Quai
Most angelica sold in North America is Chinese Angelica sinensis, marketed as dong quai. Kosbee uses the Korean species, Angelica gigas (참당귀), which has a deeper, more fragrant, earthier aroma.
It is a Product of Korea, where the soil and handling are tightly managed — a clean, traceable origin instead of anonymous bulk root.
Pre-Sliced and Ready to Brew
Whole angelica root is hard and difficult to cut at home. These slices are cut to an even thickness, so they steep faster and release their aroma more evenly.
The resealable pouch keeps that aroma sealed in, so the root doesn't dry out and taste flat or papery by the time you use it.
What's in the Pouch
- 100% Korean Angelica Root (Dang Gui / 당귀, Angelica gigas)
- Pure dried root grown in Korea, with no additives — just sliced angelica.
- Deep, Earthy Aroma
- A rich, fragrant, lightly sweet root; a few slices lift the flavor of a whole pot.
- Pre-Sliced, Ready to Use
- Cut to an even thickness, so there's no hard whole root to saw through at home.
- Resealable Zip Pouch
- Reseal to lock in the aroma and keep the slices fresh, so they don't taste flat.
Each 5.3 oz (150 g) pouch holds about 15 servings (1/2 cup / 10 g each), and because the aroma is strong, a little goes a long way.
How to Use Korean Angelica Root
For tea, simmer about 10 g of slices in 1 quart (about 1 liter) of water on low heat for 30 minutes to 1 hour, then strain. If the flavor feels strong, simmer it with jujube or licorice for a rounder, naturally sweet cup.
For cooking, add 2 to 3 slices to samgyetang, galbitang, or hot pot to balance any strong meat odor and add the deep, fragrant herbal note of a good Korean restaurant.
The root stays firm and woody, so simmer it for flavor and strain it out — it isn't meant to be chewed.
How to Enjoy It Safely
Angelica is a strong aromatic root, so use it in small amounts — a few slices per pot is plenty.
It is not recommended during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or nursing, please avoid it or talk to your doctor first.
Angelica is in the celery and carrot family (Apiaceae), so check the label if you have a related allergy. If you take prescription medication, such as blood thinners, or have surgery scheduled, talk to your doctor before using it.

How do I make angelica root tea?
Simmer about 10 g of slices in 1 quart (1 liter) of water on low heat for 30 minutes to 1 hour, then strain. If the flavor is strong, simmer it with jujube or licorice for natural sweetness. You can also add a few slices to soups.
Is there anyone who should avoid it?

How is this different from Chinese dong quai?
North American dong quai is usually Chinese Angelica sinensis. Kosbee uses Korean Angelica gigas (참당귀), grown in Korea, which many find deeper and more fragrant, and it comes pre-sliced rather than as a hard whole root that is tough to cut at home.
