Our Quality Promise

We use only the most fertile fields in the world.

We grow three, four and five year old ginseng roots and ensure our products are of the highest quality.

Harvested roots are stored in a cool climate-controlled environment for two weeks before transferring them to the high pressure wash line. During this process each root is washed to perfection and hand sorted to a ensure pristine quality.

After carefully selecting only the best Ginseng roots, washed roots are are then transferred to our state of the art drying facility. This process lasts 10 to 14 days-until a moisture rate of less than 3% is achieved. Once dry, roots are again rigorously inspected to ensure quality assurance before they are packaged and ready for the consumer.

Furthermore, after individually selecting only the best ginseng roots by hand, they are carefully stored in high quality and carefully designed bins for drying.

After drying for 2 to 3 weeks in our facilities and ensuring that all of our ginseng is over 97% dry, we yet again run a quality check on all roots to ensure only the highest quality product is selected.
