A deeply earthy brew rooted in centuries of Korean herbal tradition. Japanese Chaff Flower root creates a warm, grounding tea with a rich amber color and a gentle, woody aroma — the kind of cup that feels like it's working with your body from the very first sip.
Achyranthes japonica, known as Japanese Chaff Flower (우슬, *useul* in Korean), has been steeped into healing teas across Korea for generations. Harvested from the hardy perennial that grows wild along Korean hillsides and roadsides, the root is the prized part of the plant — where herbalists believe its quiet power lives. When simmered, it releases a subtly sweet, mildly bitter flavor with earthy undertones, finishing smooth and clean on the palate. It's the kind of tea that feels nourishing before you even know why.

Our Japanese Chaff Flower root is sourced directly from South Korea, where the strictest quality standards in the world ensure only the finest roots are harvested, carefully dried, and packaged under GMP-certified conditions — the same rigorous safety and quality benchmarks recognized by international health authorities. This is an authentic Korean herbal tea that's remarkably rare in the United States; most tea lovers here will never encounter this caliber at a local shop or from other online sellers.
To brew: Simmer 20g of root in 1L of water over medium heat for about an hour, until the water turns a deep golden-brown. Strain and enjoy 2–3 warm cups throughout the day, or chill and refrigerate for a refreshing iced version. Put the kettle on, pour a cup, and experience why Korean households have treasured this root for generations.
