Known as the 'King of Herbs', ginseng has been treasured for over two thousand years as the supreme tonic of primal qi. Our red ginseng roots from the Changbai Mountains are steam-cured in the traditional Korean method, which concentrates the ginsenosides and gives the root its characteristic amber color and warming, invigorating nature.
