CheongKwanJang Honeyed Korean Red Ginseng Slices, Boost Natural Energy, Performance and Immunity - 6 Pack

This Honeyed Korean Red Ginseng Slices seems to be a quality product made with care. The packaging specifies it is made from 6 year old roots. I have seen some less expensive Ginseng products recently, but I understand that it is normally a fairly expensive root.The honeyed slices come as 6 small individually sealed packages with approximately 12 slices each. The suggested serving is 2 slices 3 times per day. The honey adds a light sweetness to the root and balances the natural bitterness but doesn't cover it completely. I do not find the flavor unpleasant. The honey also provides some moisture to the root. The slices are not dry and hard like you might expect. Instead, they are tender yet chewy.It may be important for some to know that fish collagen is one of the ingredients, with Rohu and Tilapia listed on the packaging.

Not the first ginseng product I've tried and this is definitely the real deal. The slices are slightly sweet, but not overly so (it's not candy). You still get the classic ginseng flavor -- earthy with a hint of bitterness -- it's just been mildly sweetened. It comes with 6 sealed packs, each with several slices inside. The packs are not resealable, but come with a stickers to close the pack. The overall packaging is very well done. It's almost a shame the packs are self-sealing ziploc-style bags as the stickers are probably the least thought-out part of the packaging. I don't exactly know what constitutes a "dose", but presumably you're not meant to eat a whole pack at once given both the price and the closure stickers.

I have been feeling drained and tired lately and was very curious about the CheongKwanJang brand Honeyed Korean Red Ginseng Slices and since I prefer natural remedies, I'm giving it a try.It is marketed as a healthier snack supplement for more energy, immunity (health) and overall performance for "quick energy boosts." I tried it and believe there is validity to the energy boost aspect.The packaging is quite remarkable and what you would expect from a higher-end price point. It arrived in a box primarily in Korean inscription with 6 individual boxes that each box contained a sealed packet of about 20 grams of flavored red ginseng.As for the flavor, the marketing product description states, "Treat your taste buds to the unique chewing sensation paired with the rich flavor of CheongKwanJang Honeyed Korean Red Ginseng Slices." This would be factually accurate as the flavor is definitely a "unique chewing sensation."The texture is that of a dried fruit product (like a fruit roll-up - if you regard that as "fruit"). The ginseng is broken up into various pieces in the package. Now the flavor is not bad. I have never had ginseng before and have nothing to compare it to. It is quite bland with a slight bitter aftertaste that doesn't last too long. As a healthy snack alternative, it's on par with expectations. However, I wasn't tasting anything similar to the sweetness of honey.Overall, the price point is quite significant but this is the coveted red ginseng and a reputable Korean product. I will be taking this product to work to help with my energy and this ginseng will definitely keep me from snacking on the unhealthy sweet and salty stuff that I don't need.

When I was a youth I lived a few years in Korea and remember that ginseng was added to just about everything. Korea obviously had a high reverence for its abilities and it was interesting to see such a product be so ubiquitous considering I was from the West and was not familiar with it at all. CheongKwanJang Honeyed Korean Red Ginseng Slices, Boost Natural Energy, Performance and Immunity - 6 Pack holds their product in high regard considering the exorbitant price. Everything about the packaging shows a care and focus on high quality: thick boxes, gold foil and bright color print, individually wrapped foil bags that are in their own separate box, tape to help seal the envelope after it's been opened to make sure it seals correctly.While this product is listed as honeyed it has little to no sweet flavor to it which I believe could greatly help the taste. I don't know what high quality ginseng tastes like and can only compare this to what I remember from years ago. The overall flavor is an earthy bitterness and something I'm not particularly fond of. Of everything sent to me I probably will not finish the one pack that I opened and the rest will be disposed of. I hate to waste the product but I just don't see how this could become part of my daily routine.
