Korean Chrysanthemum Tea | Whole Gamguk Flower | 1.75 oz
Kosbee Korean Chrysanthemum Tea is a caffeine-free floral tea made from whole, dried Gamguk flowers (Chrysanthemum indicum L.) grown in Korea — no added sugar, dyes, or artificial flavoring, just loose whole blooms that open as they steep.
Each pouch holds 1.75 oz (50 g) of carefully dried flowers. Pour hot water over a spoonful and the petals slowly unfurl, releasing a soft, honeyed floral aroma and a clear, golden cup with a gentle, lightly bittersweet flavor.
In Korea, the chrysanthemum has long been welcomed as the flower of autumn, and Gamguk in particular has been gathered and enjoyed as a quiet, fragrant tea for generations. Kosbee carries that same unhurried ritual to your cup — whole blooms, gently dried, nothing added.
A Cleaner Cup Than Most Chrysanthemum Tea
Much of the chrysanthemum tea sold across North America is a low-cost import with broken petals, dust, or a faint chemical smell. Kosbee is different: it is a Product of Korea, made from the prized Gamguk tea variety (Chrysanthemum indicum L.) rather than ordinary ornamental flowers.
You get whole, intact blooms — not crumbled petals at the bottom of the bag — sourced by Kosbee from clean Korean growers and naturally dried, with nothing artificial added.
What's Inside Each Pouch
- 100% Gamguk Flowers (Chrysanthemum indicum L.)
- Whole, loose dried blooms — the small golden chrysanthemum prized as a tea flower in Korea, not a generic ornamental variety.
- Caffeine-Free, Nothing Added
- No caffeine, sugar, dyes, or artificial flavoring, so it is an easy cup to reach for in the evening.
- Naturally Dried Whole Blooms
- Gently dried to keep the petals intact, so they reopen in hot water for a clear, fragrant pour.
The label lists a serving as 1/2 cup (0.35 oz / 10 g) of flowers — about 36 calories, with small, naturally occurring amounts of calcium, potassium, and iron.
How to Brew Korean Chrysanthemum Tea
Let just-boiled water cool slightly to about 185 to 195°F (85 to 90°C). Add one to two spoonfuls of whole flowers to a cup or glass teapot and steep for three to five minutes. A clear teapot lets you watch the blooms open.
If the natural, lightly bittersweet taste feels strong, stir in a little honey or rock sugar. For a traditional Korean pairing, add a spoonful of goji berries to the pot as the flowers steep.
Flower tea is sensitive to moisture and light, so reseal the pouch tightly after each use and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
An Unhurried Cup for Screen Breaks
With no caffeine and a soft floral aroma, this is the kind of quiet, fragrant cup you can reach for during an afternoon away from the screen or as a quiet way to wind down at night. One pouch holds enough whole flowers for roughly 15 to 20 light cups.

How is Gamguk different from ordinary yellow chrysanthemum tea?
