🌿 Premium Korean Ginseng (Dried Ginseng Roots) | Mid-Range Choice for Home Wellness
Premium Korean Ginseng is the most popular mid-range Korean ginseng grade in our trade. The roots are straight and uniform in shape with a solid texture; the skin is golden-yellow with brown tones, and the root patterns are natural and distinct. At our Hong Kong stores, the price is approximately HK$160 per tael (actual selling price is subject to in-store signage), offering a good balance between price and quality. It is an excellent first choice for daily home stewing, tea brewing, and those new to ginseng. 🍵
