Pour yourself a cup of one of Korea's most treasured wellness teas — authentic 여주 (bitter melon) tea, brewed from whole dried slices sourced directly from South Korea. With its deep amber brew, earthy aroma, and signature clean bitterness that mellows into a refreshing finish, this is the kind of tea that turns a daily cup into a centuries-old ritual of balance and vitality.
Known scientifically as Momordica Charantia, bitter melon has been steeped and sipped across Korea, India, and Southeast Asia for generations. Korean herbalists have long prized 여주 above other varieties, and thanks to South Korea's strict quality standards — among the most rigorous in the world — only the finest, sun-dried slices make it into this 4oz pouch. This level of authenticity is remarkably rare in the United States; most tea drinkers here have never experienced bitter melon tea brewed the traditional Korean way.

To brew, simmer about 20g of dried bitter melon slices in 1 liter of water over medium heat for roughly an hour, watching as the water slowly deepens into a beautiful golden-amber hue and fills your kitchen with a warm, grassy aroma. Pour yourself 2–3 cups throughout the day, served hot for a grounding ritual or chilled from the refrigerator for a refreshing, slightly bracing iced tea. Because this tea is sourced directly from South Korea, you won't find this quality at your local store or from other US sellers — each pouch is a small, rare invitation to experience 여주 the way it's meant to be enjoyed.
