Expert Tips
1. How to choose between sliced ginseng and whole root ginseng?
If mainly for daily brewing, office consumption, holding in the mouth, or quick tea brewing, sliced ginseng is recommended for convenience and faster flavor release. If for gifting, stewing, collecting, or if you prefer to see the complete root shape, whole root ginseng is more suitable. Whole roots can also be sliced or cut into pieces as needed.
2. What is the difference between 10-year ginseng and regular ginseng?
Generally, the older the ginseng, the more distinct its texture, aroma, and flavor layers. 10-year ginseng usually has a richer ginseng flavor and a more pronounced sweet aftertaste, suitable for those who pursue traditional ginseng taste and a richer flavor. For daily brewing, not too much is needed; a small amount can produce a noticeable ginseng aroma.
3. What does "semi-wild whole-tailed" mean?
"Semi-wild" usually refers to a growth environment and cultivation method that are closer to the natural state. The root shape may not be as perfectly uniform as commercially grown ginseng, but it often has more natural textures and an original root shape. "Whole-tailed" emphasizes the preservation of the root's tail and its overall shape, making it suitable for those who appreciate traditional ginseng shapes and whole roots.
4. How to judge the quality of ginseng?
When selecting ginseng, you can check its aroma, texture, consistency, and aftertaste. Good ginseng usually has a natural ginseng aroma and should not have any musty, rancid, or pungent odors; the cut surface should have clear textures, a slightly bitter taste followed by a sweet aftertaste, and the ginseng aroma should be naturally released when brewed.
5. Why is ginseng slightly bitter when brewed?
Ginseng itself has a unique taste, and a slight bitterness upon tasting is a common flavor characteristic, usually followed by a sweet aftertaste.
