📜 History

Daechu Cha, or Korean jujube tea, is a traditional medicinal beverage that has been enjoyed on the Korean peninsula for centuries. Made from dried red dates (jujubes), this sweet, warming tea is deeply rooted in Korean folk medicine and is believed to aid digestion, reduce stress, and promote restful sleep. The drink is traditionally served during the cold winter months and remains popular at traditional Korean tea houses today.
