The Winter Herbal Set is a revolving selection of our favorite herbal teas of the season. We procure most of our herbals once a year, and many of them are only available within that season. We offer this set as a vertical discovery pairing to heighten the senses and guide you through the incredible world of Korean herbals. Whether you are an experienced tea drinker or looking for that special gift for someone with a discerning palette, the Winter Herbal Set will surely be well received! Let us take you on a journey through the incredibly deep taste and aromas of these new and exotic herbals!
1. Mistletoe
You will be pleasantly surprised to find that this herbal consists of the actual stems and twigs that were cut and skillfully roasted to enhance the aroma and flavor. There is a natural sweetness and slightly bitter taste that makes you want to drink it often. The woody notes are perfect for colder, rainy weather but can also be brewed strong and poured over ice with a slice of fresh lime!

2. Mulberry
Mulberry has long been used for its health properties in Chinese herbal medicine and considered a superfood for its many attributes. The taste is a cross between a pan fired green tea and peppermint leaves. Young leaves have been cut then rolled before drying to further enhance the flavor and aroma. Rolling allows for the leaves to steep and release flavor effectively in hot water.
