About Burdock Root

Discover Organic Positively Botanicals — The burdock plant (Arctium spp.) is prized for its deep taproots, which can grow several feet long. After the first year’s growth, the roots are harvested, cleaned, and dried to preserve their flavour and nutritional profile. In Japanese and Korean cuisines, burdock root – known as gobo – is a common ingredient in stir-fries, soups, and stews, valued for its earthy, slightly sweet taste. As a tea, it delivers a naturally mellow and satisfying drink that can be enjoyed hot or iced.

How to Prepare Burdock Root Loose Leaf Tea

To brew a soothing cup, use roughly 1 tablespoon of loose leaf per 250 mL of boiling water. Steep for 10–15 minutes, adjusting the time for your preferred strength. For a stronger brew, add more tea or steep longer. Serve hot or chilled over ice. Burdock root has a naturally sweet, earthy character that pairs beautifully with a squeeze of lemon or a drizzle of honey. While it blends well with other teas, it’s delightful on its own.
