Do you usually refrigerate them, or just leave them in the cabinet? The honey ginger one is responsible for clearing my throat/nose of yellow dust! |

Refrigerate it. I made the mistake of not doing so, and my daechu grew into a lovely chia pet. |

refrigerate. but please be aware, unless you paid a pretty penny that is not honey but corn syrup. mid-price you get sugar instead of corn syrup. |

Cedar,
I love omija tea, but haven't seen the organic, honey stuff in months. I should have gotten 2 jars, because I'm just about out. All I can find is the cheapo variety. I really love the stuff, and when I make it it's never as good. Do you know where I could find it?
Thanks. |

Hm. I think it was between 6,000-8,000 won. I'm guessing that is the cheap stuff? |

I saw the honey omija, organic, at Lotte (the Lotte at Jamshil to be specific) about 3 weeks ago. It was something like 28,000 but was about a 1/3 of a gallon, which would last quite a while.
6-8,000 won. Yes, you're probably drinking corn syrup. But not necessarily. I have a jar of organic yujacha (citron) right now that cost around 8,000 and is sweetened with (white) sugar. I got that in the organic section of Emart, you should check it out. |
