Korean Chrysanthemum Tea | Whole Gamguk Flower | 1.75 oz
Kosbee Korean Chrysanthemum Tea is a caffeine-free floral tea made from 100% whole gamguk (감국) flowers, the Chrysanthemum indicum L. variety grown and harvested in Korea — with no added sugar, dyes, or artificial flavors.
Each whole bloom is naturally dried and sealed to protect its delicate petals and gentle, honey-like aroma. Drop a few flowers into hot water and watch them slowly open into a clear, golden cup — a quiet ritual for the end of a long day.
Korean Chrysanthemum Tea, Grown in Korea
Most chrysanthemum tea sold across North America is imported from elsewhere, often as broken petals or dust of unclear origin. Kosbee is different: every pouch is a Product of Korea, sourced from clean Korean farmland and packed as whole, intact blooms.
That means no musty chemical smell and no scattered debris — just carefully dried flowers you can see and trust, the way floral tea is meant to be.
In Korea, gamguk is known as a messenger of autumn. For centuries it has been treasured as a tea to calm the mind and cool the body. Kosbee harvests only whole gamguk blooms from clean Korean nature, with no artificial processing — so you can experience true rest as each flower unfurls.
Real Gamguk Flowers, Not Garden Mums
Gamguk (Chrysanthemum indicum L.) is the small, golden flower traditionally enjoyed in Korea as a tea — not a decorative garden mum grown for show. Its naturally sweet, floral character is what sets a true cup apart from harsh, bitter imitations.
Because we use whole blooms rather than crushed petals, you get fuller aroma and a cleaner, smoother taste in every brew.

How to Brew Gamguk Tea
Bring water to a boil, then let it cool slightly to about 185–195°F (85–90°C). Add 1 to 2 spoonfuls of dried flowers and steep for 3 to 5 minutes. A clear glass teapot lets you enjoy the blooms opening as they brew.
Prefer it sweeter? Stir in a little honey or rock sugar. For a traditional Korean pairing, add a spoonful of goji berries for a warming floral blend.
A Calming, Caffeine-Free Cup
Gamguk's gentle floral aroma makes it a favorite for unwinding — a quiet alternative to coffee for caffeine-sensitive evenings. In traditional Korean wellness, it is considered a "cooling" herb, enjoyed when the body feels overheated from heat or stress.
It is also a traditional companion for tired eyes after long hours in front of a screen, making it a thoughtful afternoon or night-time ritual for students and professionals alike.
