About Ssanggye Roasted Corn Silk Tea
This is a caffeine-free tea built on roasted corn silk, rounded out with corn and brown rice. Roasting brings out a deep, toasty, nutty, savory flavor (gusu-han) with a clean finish — and none of the sweet or vegetal taste people sometimes expect from corn.
Each box holds 40 individually wrapped tea bags, 1.8 oz (52 g) total (about 1.3 g per bag).

What Makes It Different
This is a roasted corn silk tea, not a plain one — the four-step roasting gives it a deeper, nuttier, more savory flavor than typical corn silk teas, with no sweet or vegetal edge. It is a popular caffeine-free everyday drink in Korea, hot or iced.
Made by Ssanggye (since 1975) in a HACCP-certified facility, sourced by Kosbee and shipped from our New Jersey warehouse, so you skip the long wait of overseas shipping.
Good to know: enjoy it as an everyday beverage in moderation. If you take any medication or have a medical condition, consult a healthcare professional before use. Made in a facility that may also process buckwheat and soy, so trace cross-contact is possible.
