FAQ

Answers to common questions about our tea, brewing, and care.

I'm looking for a caffeine-free tea.

We recommend our Herbal Tea lineup — made not from tea leaves, but from Korea's own roots, berries, and leaves. Where the West has chamomile, lavender, and rooibos, Korea has its own colorful herbal teas: mugwort, Korean raisin tree fruit, pumpkin, and persimmon leaf. Completely caffeine-free, so it's safe for pregnant women and children, and easy to enjoy even late at night.
Signature herbal teas: Mugwort Tea, Pumpkin Tea, Korean Raisin Tree Fruit Fruit Tea, Persimmon Leaf Tea.

I'm new to tea — what would you recommend?

You can choose based on two things: form and caffeine level.

By form:
Tea Bag — individually packed for a quick, easy cup anytime, anywhere.
Loose Leaf — the full aroma and flavor of whole tea leaves, great for multiple steeps (3+) with teaware.
Matcha — finely ground tea leaf powder; whisk it straight or blend into a latte.
Gift Set — a curated pairing of teaware and tea, perfect for gifting.

By caffeine level:
Green Tea & Matcha — naturally caffeinated, great for waking up or staying focused.
Roasted (Hojicha) & Oxidized Tea (Jaeksal) — roasting or fermenting the leaves lowers the caffeine and brings out a nutty, deep flavor.
Herbal Tea (Non-Caffeine) — made from Korea's own roots and fruits like mugwort and pumpkin; caffeine-free, so it's gentle enough for late nights, pregnancy, or kids.

Are the tea bag filters safe in hot water?

Yes — they're made with a plant-based, biodegradable PLA filter. All of our tea bags use PLA filters made from corn starch. No microplastics or hormone-disrupting chemicals are released, even in boiling water, so you can enjoy your tea with total peace of mind.
You can find more details in our journal: read more here.
View the official microplastic test report (KATR).

How do I open and store the leaf tea pouch (tin-tie)?

Cut off the top of the tin-tie with scissors, then roll and reseal it after each use. The wire strip (tin-tie) at the top of the package keeps it sealed — cut about 2–3cm off the top, and after each use, roll the opening down and fold the tin-tie to hold it closed. This helps keep the aroma fresh for longer.

What does "3 times" on the recipe on the back of the package mean?

It means you can re-steep the same leaves up to 3 times. Our loose leaf teas hold up beautifully to multiple steeps — it would be a shame to brew them just once. Enjoy how the flavor shifts, from the bright aroma of the first steep to the deeper notes that come out in the second and third.
Example: steeping 3g of leaves in 200ml of water, three times, gives you a generous 600ml of tea in total.

How do I clean my bamboo matcha whisk?

It's easy — no breaking in and no fussy cleaning.
1. Rinse it under running warm water right after use. Don't use soap.
2. Gently shake off the water.
3. Let it dry fully, standing up, in a well-aired place.

Tip: Soak the whisk in warm water for a minute before each use. It softens the tines so they don't break. Don't leave it soaking for a long time, as bamboo can bend.
