Yuja-cha (Korean: 유자차), yuja tea or yuzu tea is a traditional Korean tea made by mixing hot water with yuja-cheong (yuzu marmalade). Yuja tea is popular throughout Korea, especially in the winter. This tea is created by curing yuzu into a sweet, thick, pulpy syrup. It does not contain caffeine. It is often sold in markets in large jars and used as a home remedy for the common cold. Yuja tea is made from the yuzu fruit, known in Korea as yuja (유자), but commonly known outside of East Asia by its Japanese name yuzu (ユズ). Yuzu does not contain much juice, unlike other citrus fruits. They are able to cook in high temperatures without losing their tartness. Yuzu have a strong fragrance. Their scent comes from the zest, juices, and essential oils. Yuja tea is bittersweet. In addition, yuja tea is a preservative, so it can be left out on a shelf or counter.
