Stay Healthy This Winter
Traditional Korean Juices and Teas
When winter rolls around, there's nothing quite like a warm cup of tea or a sip of nutritious juice to keep the chill at bay. In Korea, there’s a rich tradition of crafting juices and teas from natural ingredients to support health during the colder months. These beverages are more than just comforting—they’re infused with generations of wisdom, offering both warmth and well-being.
With flu season and freezing weather upon us, these drinks are your ultimate companions for staying healthy and cozy this winter. In this guide, we’ll introduce four popular Korean juices and teas, sharing why they’re winter favorites and what makes each one unique. And if you ever visit Korea, they double as thoughtful souvenirs to take home. Let’s get started!
Gnm’s CHEONMA TEA
There are various names for Cheonma tea, such as Yam Tea with Cornflakes or Gastrodia Elata Tea. However, we'll stick to 'Cheonma Tea' here, following the Korean pronunciation.
Cheonma tea might be unfamiliar to most, but it’s like Korea’s version of an undiscovered gem. Imagine trying kimbap for the first time—you’re curious at first, but after one taste, you’re hooked! This tea, made from gastrodia root (Cheonma), is renowned in Korea for its stress-relieving and brain-boosting properties, creating a unique drink with a nutty, subtly sweet flavor.
GNM’s Cheonma Tea comes in convenient stick packs, making it easy to enjoy anytime. Just mix with warm water, and you’ll have a cup of soothing comfort. Its mild sweetness and nutty aroma make it perfect for unwinding at the end of a long day or starting your morning on a calm note. If you’re looking for a moment of peace in your busy day, a warm cup of Cheonma Tea is the way to go.
Jeupjaengi’s BALLOON-FLOWER & PEAR
🖐 The brand name follows Korea’s Romanization standards as it doesn’t have an official English version.
A true staple of Korean winters, balloon flower and pear juice is a trusted remedy for colds. Pear soothes the throat, while balloon flower (Doraji) cleanses and supports the respiratory system. Together, they create a powerful blend to fight sore throats and keep your voice clear during the chilly season.
Making this juice from scratch can be tricky, which is why many Koreans prefer ready-made options like the one shown above. It can be enjoyed chilled, at room temperature, or warmed for extra comfort. A hot cup of this juice not only soothes your throat but also leaves you feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the cold season.
Damtuh’s GINGER TEA
Damtuh, a trusted name in Korean tea, is renowned for its high-quality and convenient products. As we've highlighted in previous content, Damtuh offers a variety of teas for every occasion, with their ginger tea standing out as a wintertime favorite, perfect for staying warm on chilly days.
Ginger is known to boost circulation, making it great for people with cold hands and feet. It’s also praised for its immune-boosting properties, helping to prevent winter colds. One popular way to enjoy Damtuh’s ginger tea is to mix in a spoonful of honey. The natural sweetness of honey perfectly balances the spicy kick of ginger, creating a comforting and delicious drink that warms both the body and soul.
If you’re looking for a simple yet flavorful way to stay healthy this winter, Damtuh’s ginger tea is a must-try. Why not melt away the day’s chill with a warm cup of this classic tea?
Damtuh’s JUJUBE TEA
Jujube tea has long been a beloved winter drink in Korea, cherished for its naturally sweet flavor and revitalizing properties. Known for its ability to warm the body and boost immunity, jujube has been a staple ingredient in traditional Korean medicine, making it an excellent choice for staying healthy during colder months.
There are two main ways to enjoy jujube tea. The first is using jujube syrup for a richer, more traditional flavor. The second, and more convenient option, is using powdered tea, like Damtuh’s product. While jujube syrup offers a deep, authentic taste, Damtuh’s powdered version is perfect for its simplicity and accessibility, even for those outside Korea.
Damtuh’s jujube tea stands out for its rich, sweet taste. Just mix it with hot water, and you’ll enjoy the deep sweetness and subtle aroma of jujubes in every sip, instantly warming your mood. This stick-pack tea is a practical way to embrace the health benefits of Korean tradition, even on a busy schedule. This winter, why not treat yourself to a comforting and flavorful cup of Damtuh’s jujube tea?
Korean juice and tea culture is more than just about drinks—it’s rooted in wisdom for staying healthy during winter. Soothe your throat with balloon flower and pear juice, warm your body with ginger tea, and relieve fatigue with jujube tea. These beverages have been cherished as part of Korea's traditional remedies for generations.
Now, you too can experience the comfort and health benefits of Korea’s juice and tea culture. Why not enjoy a warm and healthy winter with these timeless favorites?
