What's Inside
- 100% Korean Persimmon Leaf (감잎)
- A single ingredient — Korean-grown persimmon leaf, for a delicate, vegetal, lightly sweet taste. No additives, no blending.
- Naturally Caffeine-Free
- An herbal leaf tea, not from the tea plant, so it is naturally free of caffeine — easy to enjoy morning, evening, or before bed.
- Food Master's Craft, HACCP-Certified
- Made by Food Master No. 28 Kim Dong-gon in a HACCP-certified facility — Korea's national food-safety standard.
How to Brew
- Place 1 tea bag in a cup and pour about 5–7 fl oz (150–200 mL) of hot water at 158–176°F (70–80°C).
- Steep 1–2 minutes, then sip. Water that is too hot or a long steep can taste astringent, so keep it gentle.
- For iced tea, brew strong, then pour over ice for a cool, refreshing cup.
- Store at room temperature, sealed, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
