![[Gangwoninsam] 6 Year Korean Red Ginseng Tea (3g x 50 packets) – Contains 6 Year Korean Red Ginseng Extract, Korean Tea, Indi](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61W7Bpm2WWL._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! This ginseng tea is basically the extract powder mixed with glucose, its slightly sweet and has a lot of benefits.
The only downfall of this drink is its taste (That's why it got 4* in the "taste" rating line). It does takes time getting used to, but it grows on you because of the fact its very good for you!
Taking it for over 12 years without missing a single morning in my cup of tea.
I found the best way to get used to it's taste is to add it to your favorite drink or morning drink of choice, be it hot or ice tea or coffee, smoothie, soup for that matter... (yes, it does dissolve in ice-cold water), in which case it won't even be noticeable like a separate overpowering taste... but on it's own it resembles the taste of raw beets, if you ever had them... - slightly earthy.
Now after all these years I actually miss it in my drink if my hubby forgets to put it (he started using it as well for the last few months and says he can feel the difference), so I go and fix it, because I can feel it's not there, but I am such a believer in this little root, because of my heritage and where it grows.
This particular kind of ginseng actually grows in my native city, but it's forbidden to harvest as it's considered as one of the indangered species.
For me the major benefits of this drink are:
Energy- my hubby says if he doesn't take it first thing in a morning, he can feel he is not getting on the same energy level as with it.
Weightloss (even though I am skin and bones, it helps me to stay in shape - it increases the speed of you metabolism, so you digest your calories faster and it helps to push out all extra out of your system.
It's good for a lot of things and you can read the "benefits and side effects (which it doesn't have, unless you have heart problems)" and makes your day brighter and happier!
I sm sticking with this one for the lifetime. That's the thing- if you started it, do not stop, unless you are allergic or it causes something in your body which you don't wish for.... this is the only one ginseng in the whole list of species which doesn't have any major side effects and is mild. If you want something stronger, you need to go to an Asian store and ask for something else.
And price is right!
