Korean Ssanghwa Tea | 12-Herb Energy & Blood Harmony Mix | 3.5 oz
Kosbee Korean Ssanghwa Tea is an authentic 12-herb mix of whole Korean botanicals — a Product of Korea with no added sugar, colors, or preservatives — slow-simmered at home into the traditional restorative tea Koreans call ssanghwa-cha.
What Is Korean Ssanghwa Tea?
Ssanghwa (쌍화) means "the harmony of two" — in Korean tradition, the balance of energy (gi) and blood (hyeol). This blend brings together 12 carefully sourced botanicals into one pack, so you can recreate the deep, time-honored cup without measuring a dozen herbs yourself.
It is naturally caffeine-free and warming, traditionally enjoyed during seasonal changes and after long, tiring days.
Ssanghwa is more than a tea. It is one of the most graceful ways to restore balance between yin and yang, energy and blood. Instead of modern, processed sweetness, Kosbee packs the quiet sincerity of 12 herbs grown in Korean soil — so a single, carefully simmered cup can offer your body its deepest sense of harmony.

How to Brew Ssanghwa Tea
Use the full 3.5 oz (100g) pack with about 8 cups (2 liters) of water. Slow simmering is the secret to a rich, traditional cup.
- Rinse: Give the herbs a quick rinse under running water.
- Simmer: Add to a pot with the water, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and gently simmer for at least 1 hour, until reduced by about half.
- Finish: Strain and pour while warm.
For the authentic tea-house touch, float a few pine nuts or jujube slices on top, and stir in honey to taste. You can also drop the mix into a pot of samgyetang (Korean ginseng chicken soup) for a deeply aromatic, restorative broth.
Why Whole Herbs, Not Powder
Most Ssanghwa products sold here are instant powders loaded with added sugar. This is a 100% whole-herb mix — no sugar, no colors, no preservatives — so you taste the herbs, not the sweetener. Hand-selected botanicals, carefully sourced from Korea.
One pack brews up to 2 liters, bringing each generous cup to well under $2. Ships from our New Jersey warehouse within 1 business day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Ssanghwa mix really made in Korea?
Yes. This is a Product of Korea — every one of the 12 botanicals is grown and harvested in Korea, then carefully sourced and packed by Kosbee. Nothing is added: no sugar, no colors, and no preservatives, just whole herbs ready to simmer at home.
How do I brew this herbal mix?
Rinse the herbs, add the whole 3.5 oz (100g) pack to about 8 cups (2 liters) of water, bring to a boil, then simmer on low for at least an hour until the liquid reduces by half. Strain, pour warm, and add honey or a few pine nuts if you like.
Are there allergens, and who should avoid this?
The blend itself contains none of the Big 9 allergens. Note that the optional pine-nut topping is a tree nut, so skip it if you have a tree-nut allergy. If you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medication, consult your healthcare provider before use, as this is a warming herbal blend.
How is this different from instant powder?
Instant Ssanghwa is usually a sweetened powder you stir into water. This is the real thing: 12 whole herbs you simmer yourself, with no added sugar or fillers. You control the strength and sweetness, and you get the deep flavor and aroma that powders can't match.
