Ssanggye Korean Burdock Root Tea | Caffeine-Free | 40 Tea Bags
Ssanggye Korean Burdock Root Tea (gobo tea) is a caffeine-free root tea made in Korea from 100% Korean burdock root (Arctium lappa) — roasted by Korean food master Kim Dong-gon (김동곤) in Jirisan Hadong, as 40 individually wrapped tea bags. Sold by Kosbee and shipped from our New Jersey warehouse.
Burdock root has long been enjoyed as a roasted tea in Korea. Master Kim Dong-gon (식품명인 제28호) roasts the root to bring out a sweet, nutty depth and remove any muddy, earthy edge — for a smooth, comforting cup.
About Ssanggye Burdock Root Tea
This is a caffeine-free tea made from a single ingredient: roasted Korean burdock root. The careful roast gives it a sweet, nutty, deeply roasty flavor (often compared to a smooth, coffee-like nuttiness) with a clean finish and none of the muddy aftertaste raw burdock can have.
Each box holds 40 individually wrapped tea bags, 1.4 oz (40 g) total (about 1 g per bag).

What Makes It Different
This is a single-ingredient Korean burdock tea, roasted by a designated food master to bring out sweetness and remove the muddy edge — not a plain or blended root tea. Its deep, nutty, roasty taste makes it an easy caffeine-free swap for coffee, hot or iced.
It is 100% Korean burdock, made 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: burdock is in the Asteraceae (daisy and ragweed) family, so if you have a related plant allergy, check with a healthcare professional before drinking. Enjoy in moderation, and consult a professional if you are pregnant, nursing, or take medication.
