As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, various liquid teas are gaining popularity, targeting the "home
cafe" trend of making and drinking beverages at home. In addition, sales of liquid teas such as yuja
tea (citrus tea), mogwa (quince) tea, and grapefruit tea are said to increase as the weather gets colder.
Liquid teas are popular among consumers as they are easy to store and can be used in a variety of
dishes. Among them, there is a certain company that has captured the world's attention, including
the United States, with their sweet honey liquid tea made through locally tailored product development.

 

Kkohshaem Food, which star ted the honey business in 1965, is a company that directly produces
over 40 kinds of liquid teas and 250 kinds of fruit juice products by blending yuja with Korean honey,
ginger, and other ingredients. As a company that has preserved the history and value of beekeeping for a
long time, "Kkohshaem" is a pure Korean semantical expression that represents honey and flowers.

 

Yuja tea, also known as citron tea, has several benefits, especially during the winter season.
It is rich in vitamin C, which helps to boost the immune system and fight of f common colds
and f lu. Its natural antioxidants also help to reduce inflammation and promote overall health.
Additionally, yuja tea is a natural decongestant and helps to relieve coughs and sore throats. Its warm
and citrusy flavor can also provide a comforting sensation, especially on cold winter days.

 

 

Kkohshaem Food continues to research and develop products that meet the taste of global
customers and consumers, maintaining strict quality control from raw materials to finished products, and
exports them to more than 30 countries around the world. It has a global price competitiveness through
direct trade with overseas global distribution companies and has obtained global certifications
such as FSSC 22000, Halal, and certifications related to logistics security to export its products.


Kkohshaem Food's representative export product, honey yuja ginger tea, is made using yuja purchased
from Goheung, Southern Jeolla Province, which is known for its yuja, and 100% domestic honey. The
excellent taste and aroma of domestic ginger make the taste of the spicy ginger less stimulating, making
it easy for various overseas consumers to drink. The company has also released a product in a portion
form that can be carried and enjoyed easily. 


While in Korea and other Asian cultures, tea is often consumed as a warm beverage during the
winter, Kkohshaem Food has captured consumers in North America as well by carefully considering
the versatility of liquid teas as they are used in cool drinks, jams, and salad dressings.

The honey yuja ginger tea has achieved the highest export revenue for a single product and entered over 500
difficult-to-enter Costco Wholesale stores in the United States. The product is also being exported
to Canada, Australia, the UK, and other regions. After entering Costco Wholesale, Kkohshaem Food
has received numerous inquiries from franchises, HORECA (Hotel, Restaurant and Cafe), specialized
distribution companies from other countries, and is continuing to expand its worldwide exports.

 

As a result of these efforts, Kkohshaem Food won the "Ten Million Dollar Exports" prize on the 57th
Trade Day in 2019 by achieving exports worth 10 million dollars. Kkohshaem Food is currently the world's
leading company in the yuja tea market share. Its signature product, the sweet honey liquid tea, is
now a favorite drink of many people across the globe. By continuing to adapt to the changing
preferences of consumers and the ever-evolving market, Kkohshaem Food is poised to maintain its
leadership in the global food industry.
