Kosbee Korean Safflower Seed is whole, unground safflower seed — honghwassi (홍화씨) — grown in Uiseong, Korea, kept whole to stay fresh, with no additives and only about 9 calories a cup, roasted and brewed into a nutty, caffeine-free tea.
In the West, safflower is best known as a flower or an oil. Korean tradition brews the seed itself — lightly roasted, it gives a warm, nutty cup. Each resealable pouch holds 5.25 oz (150 g).
In the West, safflower is best known for its flower and its oil — but Korean tradition prized the seed itself, dry-roasted and brewed into a warm, nutty tea. Kosbee selects plump whole safflower seeds from Uiseong, one of Korea's finest growing regions, and keeps them whole so they reach you fresh.
From Uiseong, Korea's Famous Region
Kosbee uses safflower seed grown in Uiseong, a Korean region long known for high-quality crops. It is a Product of Korea with a clearly named origin — not anonymous bulk seed.
The seeds are plump, clean, and whole, ready to roast and brew at home.
Whole Seed for Freshness, Not Powder
Once safflower seed is ground, its natural oils oxidize quickly and the flavor goes flat. Kosbee keeps the seeds whole, so they stay fresh until you roast and brew them yourself.
That means a fresher, nuttier cup — and no stale, rancid taste.

How to Roast and Brew Korean Safflower Seed
For the best flavor, lightly roast first: toast the whole seeds in a dry pan over low heat until they turn lightly golden and smell nutty, so they brew more easily and taste toasty.
For tea, simmer 2 tablespoons (about 20 g) of roasted seeds in 1.5 to 2 quarts (1.5 to 2 liters) of water; boil, then steep on low for 40 minutes to an hour.
For a blend, simmer it with Kosbee siberian ginseng (gasiogapi) or sambucus stem for a deeper, rounder herbal cup.
How to Enjoy It Safely
Do not use during pregnancy. Safflower seed is traditionally avoided in pregnancy, so if you are pregnant or nursing, do not drink it and talk to your doctor.
If you have a bleeding condition, have surgery scheduled, or take blood-thinning medication, avoid it or talk to your doctor first.
Safflower is in the daisy (Asteraceae) family, so if you are allergic to ragweed or related plants, talk to your doctor before drinking it.
If you have a sensitive stomach, start with a lighter brew and enjoy it in moderation.
Common Questions About Safflower Seed
Where is this safflower seed from?
Kosbee Korean Safflower Seed is whole honghwassi grown in Uiseong, Korea — a region known for high-quality crops — with no additives. It's kept whole rather than ground, packed in a resealable pouch, and shipped from our New Jersey warehouse, so you get fresh, clean seeds to roast and brew.
How do I roast and brew safflower seed?
Lightly toast the whole seeds in a dry pan over low heat until golden and nutty, then simmer 2 tablespoons (about 20 g) in 1.5 to 2 quarts (1.5 to 2 liters) of water — boil, then steep on low for 40 minutes to an hour. It's nutty and caffeine-free, and pairs well with siberian ginseng or sambucus.
Who should not drink safflower seed tea?
Do not use it during pregnancy — safflower seed is traditionally avoided in pregnancy, so if you are pregnant or nursing, don't drink it and consult your doctor. If you have a bleeding condition, have surgery scheduled, or take blood thinners, avoid it or talk to your doctor. Start with a lighter brew if your stomach is sensitive.
How is this different from safflower oil or powder?
