Korea Tea Picks- Convenience Store Edition

Korea’s tea culture is fascinating and rooted in tradition from local ingredients.

I’ve had so much fun trying out the different types and learning about their uses.
In today’s post, I share about a few of my favorite teas that are commonly drank across Korea and today, I’m showing you a breakdown of a few teas that are available at every major convenience store in Korea— from the Seven Eleven to the GS25 and the CU’s.

The ones I highlight in this video are:

• Burdock Root
  For liver support, skin health, supporting the bodies natural detox process and helping protect you from air pollution

• Corn Silk (literally the stringy white stuff your pull off corn before you cook it)
  For healthy hair, bloating, kidney support, bladder infection (UTI) prevention and support, for hair loss, nutrition and mood balancing

• Hibiscus
  For skin health, joint health, glowy, healthy skin, immunity, stress and relaxing

• Barley Tea
  For relaxing and for soothing the stomach— this one is popular for the kids here in Korea and is great for general nutrition, providing antioxidants, cellular protection, and immune support.

You can find these teas all across Korea very commonly OR at your local Korean Market. These teas are all quite popular around the world these days so you should be able to find them online or near you without too. much trouble.

As always, with anything herbal you want to be safe. If you have underlying health issues, are pregnant, breastfeeding, etc, etc. Always check with your primary care provider and make sure the herb you’re integrating into your routine is actually healthy for YOU and YOUR unique condition.
