Korean Houttuynia Cordata Tea – Heartleaf for Skin & Detox | 2.5 oz
What Is Houttuynia Cordata? (Heartleaf / Eoseongcho)
Houttuynia cordata — known in English as heartleaf and as Eoseongcho (어성초) in Korean — is a heart-shaped leafy herb treasured for generations across East Asian wellness and beauty traditions. In Korea, it's especially well known as a skin-care herb and a clean, caffeine-free detox tea.
Kosbee brings you premium 100% Korean-grown heartleaf — pure, clean, and ready for both your teacup and your skincare routine.
One Herb, Two Uses — Tea & DIY Skincare
What makes Eoseongcho special is its remarkable versatility. This single pouch works two ways:
- As a wellness tea — brewed into a clean, gently herbal infusion, enjoyed warm or chilled as a daily detox water
- As a DIY skincare ingredient — a strong-brewed batch becomes a soothing facial rinse or calming mist, a favorite of natural-beauty enthusiasts
In traditional Korean wellness, heartleaf has long been valued for helping calm and soothe the skin and for gentle, everyday detox support.* It's a true multi-use herb — one clean ingredient, two parts of your routine.
Why Korean-Grown Heartleaf Matters
Much of the heartleaf sold online — often labeled "fish mint" — is bulk-imported from China. Kosbee heartleaf is 100% Korean-grown, cultivated under strict quality standards and shipped directly from our Ridgefield, New Jersey facility for fast, reliable delivery. Each pouch contains 100% pure Houttuynia cordata — single ingredient, no additives.

How to Use Houttuynia Cordata
1. Soothing Wellness Tea
Rinse about 5 g (½ cup) of heartleaf briefly under running water. Steep in hot water for 5–10 minutes, then enjoy warm. You can also chill the brew and sip it throughout the day as a clean, caffeine-free detox water.
2. DIY Soothing Facial Rinse & Mist
Brew a stronger, more concentrated batch and let it cool completely. Use it as a final rinse after washing your face, or pour it into a mist bottle for a calming, skin-soothing facial spritz. A long-loved natural-beauty ritual.
3. DIY Skincare Base
The concentrated brew can also serve as a natural base ingredient for homemade soothing masks and toners — a clean, single-ingredient starting point for natural-beauty projects.

Important Safety Information
⚠ Cooling nature. In traditional wellness, heartleaf is classified as a "cooling" herb. If you run cold easily or have a sensitive stomach, start with a small amount and a weaker brew.
⚠ Pregnancy and children. Consult a healthcare provider before consuming as an herbal tea.
⚠ Allergy notice. If you have known plant allergies, review the ingredient (100% Houttuynia cordata) and start small. For skincare use, patch test on a small area first.
⚠ Skincare use is external only. The facial rinse and mist are for external use. Discontinue if any irritation occurs.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After opening, reseal the zipper pouch tightly to preserve freshness and the herb's clean natural aroma.
