Tealand’s Ginseng collection brings together the finest Korean ginseng products available in Dubai — including Korean Red Ginseng tea bags, loose root bundles, honey-marinated slices, and ginseng candy. All products in this range are sourced from 6-year-old cultivated Korean ginseng root (Panax ginseng), the gold standard for potency and active compound concentration. Available for delivery across the UAE in 1–3 working days, with prices starting from AED 29.40.
Ginseng (Panax ginseng) is one of the most widely studied and highly valued medicinal plants in the world, with a documented history of use in Korean and Chinese traditional medicine spanning over 5,000 years. The name Panax derives from the Greek word for “all-healing” — a reflection of the extraordinary breadth of benefits traditional practitioners attributed to this root.
Ginseng grows slowly in the cool, forested mountain regions of Korea, China, and parts of Siberia. The root must be cultivated for a minimum of six years before harvest to develop its full potency — roots harvested earlier contain significantly lower concentrations of the active compounds that give ginseng its effectiveness. This is why six-year cultivation is the benchmark for premium Korean ginseng, and why all of Tealand’s ginseng products meet this standard.
The active compounds in ginseng are called ginsenosides — a group of steroidal saponins unique to the Panax genus. Over 100 ginsenosides have been identified, each with distinct biological activity. It is the profile and concentration of these ginsenosides that determine the quality and potency of a ginseng product.
Tealand stocks both Korean Red Ginseng and White Ginseng, and the distinction matters:
Korean Red Ginseng is produced by steaming and drying the fresh ginseng root — a process that transforms certain ginsenosides into more bioavailable forms and deepens the colour to a characteristic reddish-brown. The steaming process also extends shelf life and is believed to enhance specific properties, particularly around energy, circulation, and immune function. Korean Red Ginseng is generally considered the more potent of the two and is the most widely researched form in clinical studies.
White Ginseng is produced by simply peeling and air-drying the fresh root without steaming. It retains the root’s natural pale colour and a lighter, more delicate flavour profile. White Ginseng is considered gentler and is often chosen by those new to ginseng or those who find Red Ginseng’s warming energy too stimulating.
Both types are available at Tealand as loose root bundles and in convenient formats — tea bags, sachet packs, and honey-marinated slices.
Ginseng is classified as an adaptogen — a substance that helps the body adapt to physical and mental stress and promotes overall balance. The following benefits are supported by published clinical and nutritional research:
Energy and physical stamina. Ginseng is one of the most widely used natural ingredients for combating fatigue. Multiple clinical studies have found that regular ginseng consumption reduces feelings of tiredness and improves physical endurance, making it a popular choice among active individuals and professionals in demanding roles.
Mental clarity and focus. Ginsenosides have been shown to support cognitive function — particularly working memory, reaction time, and mental performance under stress. This is one of the primary reasons ginseng is consumed daily by students and professionals across East Asia.
Immune system support. Research consistently links ginseng to enhanced immune activity, including increased natural killer cell activity and improved response to pathogens. It is particularly popular during seasonal changes and in the UAE’s heavily air-conditioned environments.
Blood sugar management. Several studies have found that Korean Red Ginseng may help support healthy blood glucose levels and improve insulin sensitivity, making it of interest to those managing metabolic health.
Cardiovascular support. Ginseng’s effect on nitric oxide production supports healthy blood vessel function and circulation, contributing to cardiovascular wellbeing with regular use.
Male vitality. Ginseng has a long history of traditional use for male health. Research has investigated its effects on testosterone levels and circulation, and it remains one of the most popular natural wellness supplements for men in both Korea and the UAE.
Note: Ginseng is a food product, not a medicine. Consult your doctor if you have a medical condition or take medication, particularly blood thinners, diabetes medication, or stimulants.
For Korean Red or White Ginseng tea bags and sachets: place one bag or sachet in 200ml of water at 85–95°C. Steep for 3–5 minutes. The flavour is naturally earthy and slightly bitter — add honey to taste. Can be enjoyed hot or chilled over ice.
For loose ginseng root bundles: simmer 2–3 root pieces in 500ml of water for 15–20 minutes. Strain and drink warm. The slow decoction method extracts a more concentrated, potent infusion. The same pieces can be re-simmered once more in fresh water.
For Korean Ginseng Honey Slices: dissolve one slice directly in hot water at 85°C, stir well, and drink. No steeping required — the honey carries the ginseng extract and dissolves quickly. Also excellent stirred into warm milk.
Tealand has been supplying premium ginseng products in Dubai for over 20 years. Every product in this range uses six-year cultivated Korean ginseng root — the standard that commands the highest ginsenoside concentration and the most consistent results. With ten products across multiple formats — from everyday tea bags and convenient sachet packs to traditional root bundles and premium honey slices — Tealand’s ginseng range suits every lifestyle, budget, and preference. All products are available online with UAE-wide delivery in 1–3 working days and in-store at all four Tealand Dubai locations.
Korean Red Ginseng is steamed and dried before packaging, which transforms its ginsenosides into more bioavailable forms and produces a richer, more warming character. It is the more potent and more widely researched of the two. White Ginseng is simply peeled and air-dried, retaining a lighter flavour and gentler effect — better suited to first-time ginseng drinkers or those sensitive to stimulating herbs.
Ginseng is not an immediate stimulant like caffeine. Most research on its cognitive and energy benefits is based on regular daily consumption over 4–8 weeks. For best results, drink one to two cups per day consistently rather than sporadically. Some people notice improved energy and mental clarity within 2–3 weeks; others require longer.
One to two cups per day is the standard recommended amount for most adults. For loose root decoctions, 1–2g of dried root per day is typical. Avoid consuming ginseng in excess of 3g of root equivalent per day, and take breaks from regular use — for example, six weeks on and one to two weeks off — to maintain sensitivity to its effects.
Korean Red Ginseng and White Ginseng tea bags and root products contain no tea plant (Camellia sinensis) and are naturally caffeine-free. However, some ginseng tea blends include green tea or oolong as a base — check the individual product listing for the full ingredients if you are caffeine-sensitive.
Yes, daily consumption is the traditional and research-backed way to take ginseng for energy and wellness benefits. Most clinical studies on ginseng use daily doses over several weeks. However, those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking blood thinners, diabetes medication, or stimulant medications should consult their doctor before regular use.
Tealand’s full ginseng range — including Korean Red Ginseng Tea bags, root bundles, honey slices, and ginseng candy — is available online at tealand.ae with delivery across all UAE emirates in 1–3 working days. All products are also available in-store at Tealand’s four Dubai locations: Umm Ramool, Festival Plaza, Al Barsya City Center, and Dubai Festival City.
For everyday energy and convenience, Korean Red Ginseng Tea 50 bags or the Red Ginseng 20-sachet pack are the most practical options — consistent daily intake in a simple format. For a more traditional and potent experience, the Red Ginseng Bundle (loose root) brewed as a decoction delivers a higher concentration of ginsenosides per serving. Korean Ginseng Honey Slices are a popular choice for those who want a pleasant, ready-to-dissolve format with no brewing required.
Yes. All ginseng root products at Tealand use six-year cultivated Korean ginseng — the industry standard for premium quality and maximum ginsenoside concentration. Roots harvested before six years contain significantly lower active compound levels and are considered lower grade.
