Roasted Korean Burdock Root – A Classic “Clean & Light” Korean Tea

In many Korean homes, burdock root tea (u-eong cha) is the drink you reach for when you want to feel a little lighter after a rich meal, reset in the middle of a busy day, or enjoy a warm, earthy cup in place of coffee. Korean Roasted Burdock Root Tea captures that everyday tradition in simple, coin-cut slices of 100% Korean burdock root – nothing else added.

Each slice is slowly roasted to bring out a naturally nutty, toasty aroma and a clean, slightly sweet finish. Burdock root is naturally rich in dietary fiber and prebiotic compounds like inulin, and has long been valued across East Asian herbal traditions for supporting a sense of internal “cleansing,” balance, and overall well-being as part of daily life.

How Koreans Traditionally Enjoy Burdock Root Tea

In Korean and East Asian food culture, burdock has been used for centuries in teas, soups, and side dishes as a root that helps you feel light, clear, and refreshed. Many people enjoy u-eong cha:

• After greasy or heavy meals, as a warm, balancing tea.
• As a caffeine-free evening drink that can be sipped like water.
• During times when they want to focus on clean, simple eating and gentle herbal support.

While modern research continues to explore burdock’s antioxidants and other plant compounds, this tea is first and foremost a traditional Korean way to hydrate with something warm, earthy, and comforting, using just one humble root.

How to Brew Korean Roasted Burdock Root Tea

You can brew a single comforting cup, or make a day’s worth of “burdock water” for the whole family.

• For a single cup
  Add 2–3 washed burdock coins to about 10 oz (300 ml) of hot water. Let it steep for 1–3 minutes, then sip and enjoy. For a stronger taste, steep a bit longer.
• For daily drinking
  Add about 20 burdock coins to 67 oz (2 L) of boiling water. Simmer for 3–5 minutes, then let it cool. Pour into a carafe or bottle and drink throughout the day instead of plain water.

Before brewing, quickly rinse the burdock slices under running water to remove any loose roasting particles. This helps your tea stay clear and clean-tasting.

Flavor Notes & Pairing Ideas

• Flavor – Lightly nutty, toasty, and earthy with a soft, clean finish. Not bitter, and easy to drink even for those new to herbal teas.
• Perfect Pairings – Enjoy alongside Korean rice dishes, simple soups, or after a rich barbecue meal as a gentle, balancing drink.
• Anytime Tea – Morning, afternoon, or evening – because it is caffeine-free, you can sip it freely without worrying about sleep.
