What is Hwangchil (Dendropanax) Tea?

In Greek, Dendro means tree and panax means panacea. Dendropanax is an adaptogenic herb and part of the Ginseng family, making it an excellent tonic for your nervous system. It is found in Hwangchil trees, which give off the subtle, delicate fragrance of Benzoin that is relaxing to the body and comforting to the mind.

We source only from high quality Hwangchil trees native to the southern regions of Korea, mainly from Bogildo island. We use a special kiln that preserves its original nutrients and emits negative ions to create a magnificent, smooth and light taste. In the final product, the beneficial ingredients in Hwangchil are drawn after it goes through a process of fermentation, roasting and cooling.

The History of Hwangchil

Korea's Hwangchil—highly prized for its medicinal properties—has been pillaged by Asian rulers for at least two millennia. As outside forces invaded Korea, foreign rulers demanded Hwangchil be paid as tribute in exchange for peace in the region. After the Second Manchu Invasion in 1636, the Korean king ordered his people to axe down all the remaining Hwangchil trees to declare that it was no longer an item that Korea would pay in return for China's promise not to invade the nation.

Although Hwangchil had been obscured and hidden within a painful history, Brain Education founder, Ilchi Lee, has rediscovered it and wants to bring its healing properties back into the world. His goal is to carry on its legacy by finding ways to continue its original intention, which was to optimize our natural healing power.

The Hwang Chil is one of my favorite teas! A thousand year old tea of gold- it has a very subtle but soothing good taste (no need to add anything to it). It always soothes my body and spirit. I would highly recommend to anyone experiencing any health issues, physical and emotional discomforts, or just to simply enjoy its healing properties!

Calming, healing and relaxing are the words I would use to describe the benefits of Hwangchil Tea. It soothes the body of any tightness or tension. I felt my heart warm up and my body light and peaceful. Try it. You will love it.

I've been drinking this tea for years, and always recommend it to my massage clients. Along with a gentle, mild flavor (sorry sweet tea drinkers), I've found that Hwangchil Tea instantly calms me. I drink it when I feel a cold coming on, and right after, my entire body feels warmer. Some of my clients will swear by Hwangchil Tea to reduce their headaches. Meanwhile, I drink it for the anti-inflammory benefit--bye bye bloating and swelling. Hwangchil lives up to its nickname as the panacea tea, and I'm all for it. PS- You can reuse the tea leaves and brew for a second or third cup!
Gentle and delicate

This is the best tea I've ever drank so far. I don't like teas with a strong aroma and taste. I love Hwangchi tea's gentle, delicate qualities. It's very soothing and calming.
