Originally brought to Japan from China, Burdock root (known as Gobo in Japan) has since been integrated into different products which include Gobo Tea. Made from finely chopped burdock, dried and roasted, it has a gentle, earthy taste with a distinct sweetness and easy-to-drink aroma. In recent years, its health benefits have attracted attention and increasingly gaining popularity. Containing no caffeine and minimal calories, it is great for drinking anytime.
