Red ginseng tea is an herbal drink made from ginseng root. It is usually packaged in individual tea bags, but is also available as an instant tea. Red ginseng tea acts as a stimulant and is believed to have therapeutic properties.
Like other types of tea, it is usually brewed with hot water, although it can also be used to make iced tea. Red ginseng tea can be served plain or sweetened with honey or sugar and mixed with milk or lemon juice. Compared to other types of tea, red ginseng tea is relatively expensive.
In its natural form, ginseng root is tan in color and shaped like a human figure with appendages resembling arms and legs. Red ginseng is produced from roots that have matured for up to 6 years. The production process for red ginseng tea requires steam heating the ginseng root to 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius), which turns the root reddish-brown. This process is believed to increase potency and preserve the active ingredients in the ginseng. The root is dried and pulverized to make tea.
Also known as Ginnsuu, ginseng root is native to cooler climates in East Asia, especially Korea, China, and Siberia. Ginseng also grows in North America, where it is cultivated in the Canadian provinces of Ontario and British Columbia, as well as in the US state of Wisconsin. Commercially grown Panax ginseng is the most commonly used Asian species for the production of red ginseng tea, although American red ginseng tea is also available. The most widely consumed red ginseng teas come from Korea.
The main active ingredients in ginseng are called ginsenosides. Ginseng has been extensively studied for its effects on cancer and immune deficiencies. It has also been tested as an anti-inflammatory and as a treatment for male erectile dysfunction. Ginseng also shows promise as an antiretroviral for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) treatments.
