Korean White He Shou Wu | Cynanchum Wilfordii Root | 4.23 oz
Kosbee White He Shou Wu is a caffeine-free herbal tea made from whole Korean Cynanchum wilfordii root (백하수오) — a Product of Korea, naturally dried as whole roots with no added sugar.
What Is White He Shou Wu?
White He Shou Wu — baekhasuoh in Korean, botanically Cynanchum wilfordii — is a root long treasured in Korea and simmered into a mellow, earthy tea. Kept as whole roots and naturally dried, it brews into a smooth, caffeine-free cup you can sip warm or chilled.
It has a gentle, grounding character that makes it easy to drink as part of a daily routine.
From Korea's royal courts to its home kitchens, baekhasuoh has been one of the most treasured roots for women's vitality and graceful aging. Kosbee carefully harvests and dries only whole Korean Cynanchum wilfordii roots, grown deep with the energy of hardy soil. Meet nature's most elegant comfort in your own teacup.
White, Not Red He Shou Wu
This is an important distinction: white He Shou Wu (Cynanchum wilfordii) is a different plant from the red He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum) you may see more often. Ours is the Korean-grown white root, kept whole and fully traceable to a single origin — a Product of Korea.
For Midlife Balance and Vitality
In Korea, baekhasuoh has long been treasured as a women's herb for midlife wellness and graceful, healthy aging — traditionally enjoyed to support a sense of balance and natural vitality. It is also a long-standing part of Korea's inner-beauty tradition, sipped for an energized, healthy-looking glow.
