Slow-simmered into a deep, amber brew with an earthy aroma and a quiet, grounding bitterness — this is a tea for those who treasure rare, legendary herbs. Our 50-year-old Phellinus linteus, known in Korea as Sanghwang and revered for over 2,000 years across Asia, is one of the most sought-after medicinal mushrooms in the world.
Shaped like a weathered black hoof and sourced directly from South Korea — where traditional herbal mastery meets some of the strictest quality standards on earth — this is not a mushroom you'll find at your local shop. In fact, most tea drinkers in the United States have never tasted a Sanghwang brew of this caliber. The older the mushroom, the more concentrated its character, and a 50-year specimen yields a tea that is robust, woody, subtly sweet at the finish, and unmistakably ancient. Poured into the cup, it glows a rich mahogany — the color of forest floors and quiet mornings.
What a Daily Cup Offers:

Immune Support — Naturally rich in beta-glucans, a traditional daily brew to keep your defenses steady through every season.
Radiant Skin from Within — Sipped for generations to support a glowing, youthful complexion through the body's own renewal rhythms.
Restorative Energy — A time-honored cup for bouncing back after long days, heavy workloads, or physical exertion.
Digestive Comfort — Long cherished in Korean herbal tradition for soothing, balanced digestion.
Antioxidant-Rich — Full of naturally occurring compounds that help protect against everyday oxidative stress.
Gentle, Whole-Mushroom Purity — No extracts, no fillers — just the whole, authentic mushroom, prepared the traditional way.

How to Brew: Place a small piece (about 10–15g) into 1.5–2 liters of water, bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer for 1–2 hours until the water turns a deep reddish-brown. Strain and sip warm throughout the day — the same piece can be re-simmered two or three times, each brew revealing a slightly different layer of flavor.
Delivered in a generous 7oz/198g portion and produced under GMP certification — the same rigorous manufacturing standards required by the FDA and international health authorities — this is authenticity you can trust. Extremely rare outside of Korea, quietly powerful, and utterly unforgettable. Once you've brewed your first pot, you'll understand why those who discover Sanghwang never go back.
