History of Red Ginseng Tea
The true origins of ginseng have long been a subject of debate. While it has been believed for centuries that it originated in Shangdang, China during the Han dynasty, this theory lacks sufficient evidence. Shangdang, although historically significant, does not provide a satisfactory explanation for the development of ginseng.
Instead, we should consider the possibility of red ginseng tea originating in Manchuria and Korea. These regions are the most likely candidates for the natural growth of ginseng. It is plausible that ginseng was first discovered and used by the locals of Manchuria and Korea, and later introduced to China during the Han dynasty.
The existence of multiple characters used to represent ginseng in ancient times further supports this theory. The similarity in sound between the indigenous Korean word ‘sim’ and the selected characters suggests a borrowing of sound characters.
In summary, the exact origins of red ginseng are still uncertain, but evidence suggests it predates the commonly accepted origin of two thousand years ago in Shangdang, China. Instead, ginseng likely originated in Manchuria and Korea, leading to the ‘Korean origin theory of ginseng’ and providing insight into the origin of ‘Korean red ginseng tea.’
