korean ginseng tea
Ginseng is a particularly popular tea ingredient, especially in South Korean teas. It is another health-boosting ingredient, providing a relatively earthy, bitter-tasting tea (or infusion if no tea leaves are actually used) that is often sweetened with honey or lemon.
Traditional Korean ginseng tea is also a great natural energy booster, making it a brilliant alternative to high-caffeine drinks like coffee.
japanese matcha tea
Unlike other forms of tea where the leaves are infused in water, Japanese matcha is made from powdered green tea that is mixed directly into water/milk. Like other Asian teas, matcha can offer a range of health benefits, and the vibrant colour and unique flavour make it a popular addition to sweets and desserts like mochi.
If you’re a lover of Asian milk teas rather than the more health-focused herbal options, head over to our selection of instant drinks.
