Omija-cha ( Korean: 오미자차) or magnolia berry tea is a traditional Korean tea made from dried Schisandra berries—omija in Korean. [1] Omija means "five flavors", which are sweetness, sourness, bitterness, saltiness, and pungency. [2] The tea can be made by boiling dried magnolia berries in water on low heat, then adding honey. [3] Alternatively, ground magnolia berry seeds can be added to cold water to make the tea. [4]
Omija-cha, served either hot or cold, is also used to make omija-hwachae (magnolia berry punch). [5]
