Dried Schisandra Chinensis 150g – 100% Korean Omija Five-Flavor Berries

One handful of berries, five different flavors.
Dried Schisandra Chinensis (Omija) is one of Korea’s most beloved traditional ingredients — a ruby-red berry known as the “five-flavor fruit” for its unique balance of sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and subtly spicy notes. This 150g bag contains 100% Korean-grown omija, carefully harvested and dried for a clean, clear taste.

Produced by Seoraksan Green Food, a trusted local producer with over 30 years of experience in domestic dried vegetables and herbs, these berries are made with the same care and dedication given to premium Korean mountain greens. Each batch is harvested in season, gently dried, and packaged in hygienic facilities, preserving the fruit’s vivid color, aroma, and naturally complex flavor.

Omija has long been enjoyed in Korean herbal tradition as a refreshing way to restore balance, support clarity, and refresh the body after a long day. Rather than adding artificial flavors or sweeteners, this product lets you create your own perfectly tuned drink: light and tart for daily sipping, or deeper and richer for special occasions. Simply adjust the amount of berries, water, and sweetness to your preference.
