[KOTASTIC] Dongsuh Corn Tea 10g x 30 1pack, Roasted Barley Tea 10g x 30 1pack

These have been pretty good for me lasting a while and the taste taking me back to when I was younger and my mother used to make this

Great light flavor for someone who wants to drink lots of liquids but struggles with into water. Has a slight taste of what you think corn smells like but then more of a watery green tea taste as well. For someone who likes light flavor beverages this tea is great. I am sure if I made the tea hot it would be much stronger.

It is I used to drink when my family were in Korea. It is good specially for Kids.

This is a classic korean tea which you can drink hot or cold. I prefer hot tea especially during the winter. I would recommend removing the tea bag after a couple of minutes because the flavor can be very strong. I wish they came in independent bags so you can travel with them. There isn't any english on the packaging but making tea is pretty straight forward.

Unfortunately, there is not a single word in English on the packaging and I do not read Korean. Some other reviewers have said that each bag can make 2 liters of tea, but I can't find official instructions in English even online. I made this tea basically the same as I would make any other tea but diluted it a lot more. I enjoyed drinking both teas and look forward to continue making the tea bags I have, but I'm not sure when I would buy it again. I have this suspicion that the people who like it the most are people who grew up with it or who have memories of Korea associated with one of the teas. I can see myself getting them in the future to make more just as a change of pace but not as a regular beverage. I drink a lot of teas and I like to have variety. I'm giving them 5 stars because they are the real stuff and if you're looking for corn or barley tea, the only problem I have with them is the lack of instructions that I can read. They are fresh and have good flavors and aromas for what they are. Corn tea The smell before it's brewed is similar to molasses. Once it's brewed, the closest smell to it that I can come up with is feed corn which makes a lot of sense. It might just be that I know what it is so that's the taste I'm identifying with it, but it does taste like what I'd imagine roasted corn to taste like. It's not the taste of sweet corn like I might eat on the cob, but a hard roasted corn. It's a mild to moderately strong flavor and a moderately strong aroma. Barley tea I really like the barley tea. It's mild and does have a sort of grain-like taste although it's rather hard to define. There's no bitterness in it. There's maybe a slight sweetness again with a roasted taste. If this weren't a 2-pack, and I had to choose to buy one over the other, I would choose barley. It has the more mild flavor of the two. I think the aroma is stronger than the flavor.

I have never had teas of this type before so I was intrigued to try these [KOTASTIC] Dongsuh Corn Tea 10g x 30 1pack, Roasted Barley Tea 10g x 30 1pack. The tastes of the teas are different than other teas that I have had, but are appealing. Tea is easy to brew using the tea bags.

The first thing that surprised me about the Kotastic Dongsuh Corn Tea and Roasted Barley Tea are the size of the tea bags as they are huge in comparison to the single tea bags that I use daily. Both boxes hold 30 tea bags that each weigh 10g. When looking at the boxes, I found everything is written in Korean but thankfully I have a translator app. The bags are intended to be brewed with 2 liters of water or essentially the equivalent to a tea pot. Both of the teas require 10 minutes of brewing time. The corn tea has a slightly smoky and almost nutty aroma. I had never tasted corn tea before and I was excited to try it. The tea has a roasted corn flavor with a hint of sweetness. One detail that the manufacturer noted is that there may be some oil floating atop the brewed tea which is from the corn. I did notice a hint of oil when I brewed the tea. The barley tea has a distinct toasted and earthy flavor with an aroma to match and tastes just like the barley tea that I have tasted at the local Korean restaurant. Both of the teas can be brewed and enjoyed hot and cold. Though the boxes of teas can be stored in a dry, dark location, the manufacturer states that it is ideal to store the opened box of tea in the refrigerator to preserve the taste and aroma of the tea. It is a Product of Korea. Overall, the flavors are a welcome and tasty change from the traditional black and green teas that I usually drink. Just be prepared to brew a tea pot worth of tea as opposed to a cup of tea.

I had not come across barley or corn tea before. My office mate familiar with they said they were good, so I ordered. And I'm glad they did. I've only tried making it cold with a little bit of sugar. It's quite good. The smell of the corn tea reminds me of the ol' Sugar Smacks cereal.
