Whole-Root Korean Red Ginseng for Serious Home Brews
Some red ginseng products are meant to be sipped in seconds. This one is different.
GeumHong Whole Root Korean Red Ginseng 20Ji 150g is for people who want the
entire root, in their own hands – to simmer slowly, share with family, and turn
into a rich daily decoction at home.
The designation “Good Grade 20Ji” refers to a carefully graded set of roots
selected for balanced size, shape, and quality. Each box gives you 150g of 100% Korean
red ginseng whole roots, with no fillers, no additives – just authentic roots from Korea
ready to be brewed into deep, bittersweet, comforting tea.
The science-backed power of Korean Red Ginseng
Korean red ginseng is fresh ginseng that has been steamed and dried to transform its active
compounds into a more stable, potent form. Decades of research on red ginseng suggest that
its key components, ginsenosides, may:
- Support and strengthen the immune system
- Help reduce physical and mental fatigue and support recovery after exertion
- Promote healthy blood circulation and vascular function
- Support memory, focus, and cognitive performance
- Provide strong antioxidant protection against oxidative stress
In Korea, red ginseng extracts with these effects are recognized as functional health foods,
and whole-root sets like this 20Ji box are the most traditional way to enjoy those benefits at home.
How to brew your own red ginseng decoction at home
With whole roots, you control the strength of your decoction. The traditional
method is simple:
- Rinse the roots gently under cool running water.
- Place about 50–100g of roots in a pot and cover with water.
- Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to about 85–90°C (just below boiling).
- Let it simmer slowly for 5–7 hours until the water turns a deep amber-brown.
- Drink the decoction hot like tea, or chill it and enjoy cold over ice.
Many families will top up the pot with fresh water and reuse the same roots 2–3 times,
adjusting the simmer time as the flavor grows lighter. You can enjoy it plain, or add ingredients like
jujube, ginger, or honey to personalize your brew.
Turning one pot into a whole day of “premium daily vitality”
A single pot of red ginseng decoction can be divided into small portions and used throughout your day:
-
Morning: A warm cup in the morning instead of (or alongside) coffee to start the day with calm focus.
-
Before the gym: Pour some into a small bottle and drink a modest amount
30–60 minutes before exercise as part of your pre-workout ritual.
-
On the road: Fill a thermos with warm decoction for long drives or commutes
as a more mindful alternative to extra coffee or energy drinks.
-
Afternoon slump: Keep a small cup ready for the 2–4pm low-energy window
instead of sugary snacks.
-
Evening wind-down: Enjoy a lighter, diluted cup after dinner as a slow, grounding way
to close a demanding day.
-
Family sharing: Pour smaller servings into cups for family members, creating a
shared wellness ritual at home.
