Korean Teas for Cafes and Gift Shops: A Counter That Tells a Story
Six teas, simple to serve, easy to explain, and easy to gift.
A guest asks what the warm, golden drink behind the counter is, and the answer is a spoonful of Korean ginger tea in hot water. That small moment is the case for Korean teas: they are simple to serve, easy to explain, and they bring a story to the cup.
Teas That Fit a Counter
Korean teas suit a cafe or gift shop because they are simple to serve and easy to explain. A concentrated tea is a spoonful in hot or cold water, and a stick or tea bag needs only a cup. The six products below split into concentrated teas and grain-based teas and sticks.

- Serve one concentrate hot and cold on the menu, so the same jar covers two drinks
- Set the barley tea bags and stick teas where customers can pick them up and take them home
- Add the jars to a gift display, since a sealed jar reads as a gift without extra packaging
