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.

What's in the Pouch

100% Korean Safflower Seed (Honghwassi / 홍화씨)
Whole, unground seeds grown in Uiseong, Korea, with no additives.
Whole Seed, So It Stays Fresh
Kept whole, not ground, so the natural oils don't oxidize and go stale before you brew.
From Uiseong
Grown in Uiseong, a Korean region known for high-quality crops.
Caffeine-Free, Light & Clean
About 9 calories a cup, 0 g sugar, and no caffeine — a light, clean cup.

The 5.25 oz (150 g) pouch makes about 7 to 8 servings (2 tbsp / 20 g each).

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?

In the West, safflower usually means oil or the dried flower. Kosbee gives you the whole seed — honghwassi — kept unground so it stays fresh, to roast and brew into a nutty, caffeine-free Korean tea from Uiseong, a Product of Korea.

Simple! Easy! All We Needed!!
Size: Large Triple
These were the only durable rubber like rings that were both the same material; not too thick (not heavy) so my 1 year old Pit, Dixie, was able to latch on to one ring while we grabbed the third ring, leaving enough space so she won't accidentally bite us when grabbing the rings to play. They were also the only ones that came interlocked and cannot be taken apart. She is also a big chewer, which means she can gnaw on these without tearing them apart. The rubber is thick enough to play, but thin enough to twist and flex with her. So far, they are sturdy. She was immediately so excited! Simple and easy!

Great durable dog toy!!
Size: Large Triple
We have a medium-sized dog (45 lb mixed Aussie/Hound) who is a pretty aggressive chewer. He also loves playing tug-of-war with his canine and human siblings using these rings. This is easily his favorite toy. We bought one a little over a year ago that he plays with daily. If finally broke this December just in time to buy a replacement for Christmas! The prior one finally broke when the middle ring came apart at one of the thinner rubber points. He still plays with the intact outer rings as well as his new toy. I wanted to dock this 1/2 star for a few reasons: 1) it is not completely invincible, although I would argue a toy that lasts over a year with pretty constant play for an $11 price tag is a great value. 2) the one we received is not yellow/black. It is blue/green. I was personally thrilled it was blue/green because it ended up being an exact replacement of the one we had previously. However the description does not say "colors vary" and it was hard for me to tell when ordering if I was ordering the correct replacement toy. A clearer description would be appreciated. 3) This is a great toy for one dog, but our other dobbie/cattle dog mix has no interest in them. So not all dogs will love this toy (obviously). 4.5 stars isn't an option so I'm giving this 5 stars because it's just about as close to a perfect dog toy as one can buy (at least for our dog).

Great toy, as long as dog is NOT ALLOWED to chew on it
Size: Large Triple
Let me start by saying that I like this dog toy. My big dog LOVES tugging with it. As long as you keep away when the dog is in a chewing mood, it lasts a long time (my 1st one lasted a year), however, it WILL NOT last if the dog chews on it, as I found out with this one. A friends dog chewed on it while she was behind a snow mound (mostly out of our sight) when it was only a week old. One end ring was barely holding together when we discovered her chewing it. Fortunately it was an end ring, so I still have 2 connected rings for tugging with. It is a great tug toy! But it is also a TERRIBLE chew toy, so make sure to take it away when your dog starts to chew on it and it will give you long service.

Fabulous toy!!
Size: Large Triple
My GSD is always up for a good game of tug-o-war. I purchased these in large and I think I love them as much as my dog. They are super strong and hold up to his 100lb self pulling on one end and my “blah blah-lb” self pulling on the other. (Ha! You thought I would say how much I weigh) I even bought another pair for our cabin so we have some to play with at both places. He isn't a sit and chew on things kind of dog. He gets plenty of playtime and bully sticks for chewing. Not to mention that I wouldn't let him use them as a chew toy anyway. There are toys for play and toys for chew. Therefore, I cant say anything on how they hold up for chewers. So if you let your dog just sit and chew on it instead of giving them something designed for strong chewers, then no it might not hold up to that. All I can say is my German Shepherd is 100lbs with sharp teeth and stronger than me now and honestly he is probably stronger than I have ever been in my life, and they hold up to the pulling and tugging of both of us. Thats what they're designed for and they serve their purpose excellently.

Won't purchase this one again.
Size: Large Triple
J.W. used to make a ring toy such as this, that was softer & thicker with a smaller black ring in the middle, that our dogs all, absolutely loved!!!!! But this one totally bores them to the point none of the dogs will pay it any attention! Please bring back the original 3 ring toy, that J.W. has now changed to just the one ring! I feel like they must have discontinued the toy with the 3 rings they used to sell, with the smaller black ring in the middle? I won't waist my $ on another one of these! Sadly, none of our 3 dogs will play with this specific toy at all! & I generally prefer to purchase J.W. brand toys for our dogs. But this toy doesn't attract them in anyway. It just sits around.
