Korean Bitter Melon Tea (Yeoju) is a caffeine-free herbal tea made in Korea from 100% Korean bitter melon fruit (Momordica charantia), packed by Namdo Nongsan (남도농산) in individual pyramid tea bags — smooth and lightly nutty, with bitter melon's sharp edge softened. Bitter melon, known as yeoju (여주) in Korean, has long been part of Korean and Asian kitchens. This tea is made from the Korean-grown fruit alone, prepared so the cup comes out mellow and lightly nutty rather than harshly bitter.
