About Gobo Cha

Burdock root has a long traditional reputation as a blood purifier and for promoting circulation and ridding the skin of accumulated toxins.

It has also been traditionally associated with improving skin quality and supporting digestive health.

Modern research has identified antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds in burdock root. Research specifically on roasted burdock-root tea found that roasting increased its total phenolic content and antioxidant activity.

Peptides isolated from burdock root have also demonstrated antibacterial activity against acne-associated bacteria in preliminary research.

Burdock root is naturally rich in inulin-type fructans, a type of prebiotic fiber associated with gastrointestinal health.

How to Brew Gobo Cha

Use 2–3 g per cup. Add near-boiling water and brew for 3–5 minutes. Strain and serve.
