Seoul, CheongKwanJang debut royal tea, snack souvenir set

Seoul and CheongKwanJang have teamed up to introduce a luxurious new souvenir set that pays homage to the royal tea culture of the Joseon Dynasty. The Royal Legacy Assorted package, set to launch on Friday, combines traditional Korean wellness practices with a modern, high-end design.

The collaboration between the Seoul Metropolitan Government and Korea Ginseng Corp. (KGC) aims to bring a piece of historical court traditions to international travelers. The package, housed in a sleek mint-colored gift box inspired by the architectural lines of Gwanghwamun, features two specialized varieties of CheongKwanJang's Court Secret Tea.

The first variety, Ginseng Giyul, is a blend of 6-year-old red ginseng concentrate with citrus peel. This unique combination draws inspiration from classical medical remedies documented by Joseon Dynasty court physician Heo Jun. The second variety, Ginseng Onyu, completes the set, offering a taste of the royal experience to those who seek a taste of Korea's rich heritage.
