Uwajima Tsukemono Foods Co., Ltd. supplies fresh, domestically-grown burdock root to the produce sections of supermarkets. Every day, they shave the burdock root and process it into shredded burdock root and julienned burdock root. This tea is made from the peels of that burdock root. Generally, it is said that vegetables' dietary fiber is abundant in the skin and near the skin. Burdock root is no exception. Compared to other burdock teas, which claim to have many active ingredients in the skin but are made with ingredients that also include the flesh of the burdock root, this burdock tea is made only from the peeled skin, with the inner part used for processing. Please give it a try. You should notice the difference. ● This product is burdock tea made by washing the skin of domestically-grown burdock root, sun-drying it, and then carefully roasting it over a direct flame. We recommend "Gobo Tea" for its natural power that allows you to continue without strain!!
