Korean tea

History of Korean tea

In Gakjeochong, a Goguryeo tomb shows that a knight drinks a cup of tea together with two ladies in the interior in the 5-6th century

The first historical record documenting the offering of tea to an ancestral god describes a rite in the year 661 in which a tea offering was made to the spirit of King Suro, the founder of the Geumgwan Gaya Kingdom (42-562). Records from the Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392) show that tea offerings were made in Buddhist temples to the spirits of revered monks.

During the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), the royal Yi family and the aristocracy used tea for simple rites, the “Day Tea Rite” was a common daytime ceremony, whereas the “Special Tea Rite” was reserved for specific occasions. These terms are not found in other countries.

Toward the end of the Joseon Dynasty, commoners joined the trend and used tea for ancestral rites, following the Chinese example based on Zhu Xi’s text Formalities of Family.

Types of Korean tea

Made from roots

Insam cha

Insam cha (, ) is a tea made from ginseng, which can be an undried ginseng (, ), a dried ginseng (, ) or a red steamed ginseng (, ). The sliced or whole ginseng is gently boiled for a few hours in water, and then honey or sugar is added for taste. Usually, water 500 m and ginseng 50 g is usual preparation for Insam Cha. Sometimes, jujube can be added when boiled.

Efficacy: Insam cha is good for increasing energy, especially or someone who catches colds frequently in winter. It also has a remedial effect on stomachache due to low body temperature. But, this tea should not be consumed by someone who has a high body temperature or high blood pressure.
