[Young Miller] Korean Sword Bean Tea

Korean Sword Bean Tea (작두콩차) - 100% Grown in Korea 

• We use 100% Korea-grown Sword Bean, carefully selected by Young Mill, then steamed and roasted to perfection.
• Rather than simply drying the sword bean, we use a pressure-roasting process that gently brings out its natural aroma and flavor.
• The result is a smooth, earthy, and nutty sword bean tea.

100% Korean-Grown Sword Bean

Roasted to preserve the ingredient’s natural flavor, this sword bean tea has a rich, nutty taste and is made with a focus on simple, honest health.

Signature Pressure-Roasting Method

Young Mill’s health teas are not simply air-dried.

By steaming and pressure-roasting in one process, the sword bean is evenly cooked, creating a tea with a toasty, earthy and smooth flavor, without sweetness or bitterness.

It is traditionally drunk for digestive comfort, gentle cleansing, and daily wellness, making it a popular caffeine-free alternative to grain teas.

What began 20 years ago at a grain market with my parents’ mill has evolved into Young Mill. With the same care, attention to detail, and integrity, we are committed to offering only honest, fresh products to our customers.

Preserving Harvest-Fresh Quality

Working alongside our parents at the mill, we often milled grains that customers brought to us. Over time, we noticed that many grains had been improperly stored at room temperature—resulting in spoilage, insect damage, or excessive dryness.

When such grains are roasted, no amount of skill or careful blending can compensate. The difference in flavor and aroma between properly stored grains and poorly stored ones is unmistakable.

In truth, storing a year’s supply of grains in low-temperature conditions is not easy.

At Young Mill, however, we are committed to delivering consistent, top-tier quality. That is why all sun-dried grains are transferred immediately upon harvest into large-scale refrigerated storage facilities. By maintaining low-temperature storage year-round, we preserve the grains’ harvest-fresh aroma and flavor.

From careful ingredient selection to strict storage standards, we remain uncompromising to ensure fresh, flavorful quality.

A Mill Specialized in Misugaru

Traditional grinders often leave the millstone exposed, making them vulnerable to dust and impurities. In many cases, millstones are also used for long periods without replacement.

Young Mill uses hygienic stainless-steel grinders, the same standard used for baby food preparation. This ensures a clean process and produces a fine, smooth texture with an exceptionally gentle mouthfeel.

Regular Food Safety Testing

All products are regularly tested for safety in compliance with food safety regulations.

HOW TO BREW

• Prepare 1 liter of boiling water.
• Add 4-6 root pieces to the boiling water.
• Boil over medium heat for 3–5 minutes.
• Once fully brewed, let the tea cool slightly and remove the solids.

TIPS ON ROOT TEAS

• You may boil this together with other root teas or fruit teas. (Examples: lotus root + burdock, lotus root + adzuki bean, balloon flower root + ginger, quince + ginger, etc.)
• To make a single cup, use about 2–3 pieces and steep before drinking.
• Root and fruit teas can be brewed a second time—so don’t discard them after the first steep—and will remain rich and flavorful, similar to the initial brew.
