Kelp tea is a tea made from kelp and is drunk in East Asian countries.

It is called kobu-cha[1] or konbu-cha[2] (昆布茶, meaning Kombu-tea) in Japan, haidai-cha (海带茶) in China and dasima-cha (다시마차) in Korea.

Preparation

Japan

In Japan, powdery kelp tea are sold as an Instant tea under the name of Konbu-cha. It is made by drying kelp to a fine powder and blending it with seasonings such as salt and sugar[1]. It's simply dissolved in hot water and enjoyed as a tea. Note that Konbu-cha does not contain any true tea (Camellia sinensis)[3][4][5].

The powdery kelp tea was invented by the founder of GYOKUROEN "Umazou Fujita" in 1918[2].

Ume-konbu-cha, which is powdery kelp tea added freeze-dried Umeboshi, is also sold[2] and is drunk as a tea in the same fashion.

Oo-buku-cha as known as Dai-buku-cha is sencha green tea with kelp and Umeboshi and is drunk in celebration of the new year in Kansai region[6].


Historically, kelp tea is thought to have been drunk from quite a long time ago[1] because the edible use of kelp is from ancient times[1].

Tea using kelp already existed in Edo period at the latest[2], and people drank it by pouring boiling water over chopped kelp[2].

Korea

Either dried kelp powder or julienned kelp can be used to make the tea.[7]

Powdered tea can be made by pan-frying and pounding cleaned and dried kelp.[8] For a cup of hot water, two to three spoons of kelp powder is used.[8] Optionally, sugar or honey can be added.[8]

Alternatively, around 30 grams (1.1 oz) of cleaned kelp pieces are infused in 300–500 millilitres (11–18 imp fl oz; 10–17 US fl oz) of hot water.[9] The kelp slices are removed after infusing, and salt is added to taste.[9]
