Ginseng has been used in East Asia for over 2,000 years, considered one of the most important adaptogenic herbs. In ancient China and Korea, wild ginseng was so sought-after it was often worth more than gold, symbolising strength and longevity.

Brewing is more than preparation — it’s a pause. Notice the aroma, the warmth of the cup, and the first sip. Each blend is an invitation to slow down and be present.
