The Batal Stone series brings the richness of Korean culture to life, weaving traditional elements seamlessly into its narrative. One such element is Ssanghwa Tea, a traditional Korean herbal beverage that symbolizes…

i have left tea for you. i am sure you will find it

Thank you very much. It'll be shared with the rest of the bus. I'm sure that they will appreciate it.

As an update, they did in fact appreciate it. Sinclair especially liked the ssanghwa-cha and it apparently helped with his "tummy ache" as he described it.

Hong Lu looked nostalgic drinking the Lu'an melon seed tea you sent. Rodion did seem to like it as well, though stuck with the iced tea that was prepared for Don Quixote and Charon.

Outis, Heathcliff and Vergilius enjoyed theirs too, however I didn't catch what types they picked. Even with the lack of suitable apparatus, your gift was appreciated and LCB sends their thanks.

it was odd for the youngest song to show such emotion. and though it hurt eun-ho that they were not close. the baron had always held his siblings close, especially after the tragedy of losing won-shik. eun-ho had always been protective of both of the younger siblings growing up, just to make sure a kidnapping never happened again. but it seemed as they all grew they drifted apart. but eun-ho gave them their space. still he cannot help the eyebrow that raises. "tired," eun-ho returns, truthfully. "areum is teething, and its not been a good few nights." he reaches out, taking a tea cup but offering it out to them first.

Tea and a Chat

With a knock upon their office door, Locke perked up. “Ah- Come in.”

The familiar glow of a broken halo greeted Locke shortly after hearing the door shut once again. They turned around and gave a small surprised nod at Phillip. “Is something the matter...?”

“I just wanted to chat about... my place upon this floor.”

Locke tilted their head. "Um, sure... please, have a seat.” They motioned over at the little circle of cushioned chairs. “Would you like some tea? I just brewed myself some.”

“You don’t have to. Isn’t it for you?”

“Please, I always make just enough for two. It sounds like a waste, but...” Locke smiled as they sat down the books they were going through and soon took their own seat in the comfy circle. They carefully poured tea into a cup for themselves and another for Phillip and slid it over to him. “...Now, what exactly about your spot did you wanna talk about?”

“The entire thing.” Phillip said bluntly. He could only look down into his teacup, seeing his murky reflection within. “I don’t want to be here again- this place...”

Locke gave a pained look his way. “...Phillip, I know it’s difficult for you... frankly I don’t like asking this either, but you’re still needed on this floor.”

“As something that needs to be studied?”

“Oh no- not at all!” They waved their hands, but the Patron Librarian knew he wasn’t wrong at all.

Those were the intentions Angela had.

“...Well-” Locke held onto their own teacup. “Phillip, you’re perhaps the only one here who stood on the boundary between E.G.O. and Distortion. That’s how Binah says it, at least... You’re not wrong that yes, we do want to know more about this phenomena. However... to me, that’s not why I want you around.”

“Then why-”

“I said it before, didn’t I?” Locke took a moment to sip their tea, looking up at Phillip with a small smile that seemed almost sad. “This is a floor of second chances. This Library has taken a lot... L Corp has taken a lot from people. I’ve seen it with my own two eyes. I don’t want this place to be like that... I want to help people.” They put their hands together, closing their eyes. “I know... I know it’s painful. I don’t like it either, but...”

“...A long time ago I knew someone who reminds me of you.” Locke finally spoke after some time. “They wanted to be a hero. I think... it’s safe to say they still do. Perhaps... this is their chance to be one.” They looked over to the window, gazing at the shimmering lights above the crystal treetops. “I know how you feel, Phillip. I just ask... can you stick around for a bit longer?”

The man didn’t seem too convinced, but he gave a look and a slow, weak nod soon followed. “I... I guess.” He then took a sip of the tea- it somehow making him perk up a bit. “Hey- is this-”

“Chamomile.” Locke responded. “It’s one of my favorites. I used to drink it all the time when I couldn’t sleep.”

“It’s not bad...” Phillip looked down.

“I can show you how to make it like that if you’d like. In turn, I do ask of one thing...”

“And that is?”

“I want to try Ssanghwa-cha. I’ve never had it before and... I’ve noticed you made some before for the other folk on the floor. Is it too much to ask if I could try some when you make it again?”

“...Not at all.”

“Thank you, Phillip.”

Wake Up Kisses [Kyungsoo, Jongin, and Sehun]

Little note for Jongin’s.  Ssanghwa Tang is a common Korean medicine and will be something people will recommend if you have a cold. It’s brown and has a bitter taste. It was something I took when I was working in South Korea and a lot of my students did too when they were sick. I hated the taste and the smell, but my co-workers swore if I took it once a day I’d get better (it did it’s job).

Culture fact of the day~ okay moving on!

Enjoy~

Kyungsoo

Rebecca loved when Kyungsoo spent the night at her place. She loved waking in his arms and the morning kisses he would give her if her was up first. There was a catch though, Kyungsoo could wake her up with kisses, but he absolutely hated when people woke him up. Rebecca never listened and would wake him up periodically.

When she woke up in Kyungsoo’s arms she felt instant comfort. She could snuggle up in his arms and fall asleep if she really wanted to, but her stomach told her otherwise. Rebecca crawled out of bed to take a quick shower before she decided to make breakfast.

After her shower and change of clothes, Rebecca walked out of her bathroom with a towel in hand drying her hair. She smiled at Kyungsoo who was under the rays of the sun as he slept. He looked angelic like a sleeping angel. She put her towel over her chair as she made her way to his side of the bed. Rebecca sat beside him and ran her hand through his hair. She pressed a quick kiss to his cheek then his lips. She heard the groan of annoyance as she pulled from him. Her hand fell to his cheek, “Sorry I woke you, but I couldn’t help it.” She smiled.

Kyungsoo looked over her with a sleepy gaze before he moved to make room for her on the bed. He patted for her to lay down and she gave him a suspicious look. “I won’t do anything” he chuckled as a response to her gaze. Rebecca sighed as she moved beside him. However, his angelic look shifted to a smirk as he pinned her to the bed.  “You know you can’t really believe me. You woke me up after I told you not to. You deserve a punishment.”

“No–wait” Rebecca squealed as Kyungsoo relentlessly tickled her. Rebecca didn’t get how Kyungsoo could be in an angel one moment and a devil in a matter of moments.

“Promise you won’t wake me again. Or I won’t stop” Kyungsoo grinned as he was wide awake at this point and he watched his girlfriend who was trying to escape him.

“I promise! I promise! Please” she laughed as she curled up in defense before he stopped tickling her. As she caught her breath, Kyungsoo pressed a kiss on her lips and got out of bed to go to the bathroom. “You’re a demon!”

“I know, love!” He called back before he shut the bathroom door.

Jongin

Sumin raced off to EXO’s dorm with medicine and ingredients for her boyfriend, Jongin. Junmyeon had texted her and let her know that they were going out and Jongin was stuck home with a cold. She had no plans that day, so she told Junmyeon she’d go and keep in an eye on Jongin.

She used a spare key to enter and was greeted with silence. Sumin dropped the grocery bags in the kitchen and headed to Jongin’s room to check on him with Ssanghwa Tang in hand. She opened the door to see him fast asleep buried under the covers. She approached him and pulled the covers off his face as she placed the medicine on the nightstand. She put her hand on his forehead and felt instant heat, “Still have a fever.” Jongin groaned in response waking to the feeling of her cold hand. “Did you take medicine?” He nodded, his eyes still shut. Sumin’s fingers guided through the top of his hair as she leaned down and kissed his cheek, “I brought more. Get up.”

Jongin groaned as he watched her get up from the bed, “You shouldn’t be here. What if I get you sick?” His voice was hoarse and she helped him sit up. “I don’t want you getting sick because of me. I can hand–”

She opened the ssanghwa tang and held it to his lips, “Drink it and shut up already. Are you hungry?” He shot her a glare, but his stomach betrayed him with a growl. Sumin smirked, “Well that answered my question, I’ll make you some soup, so relax in bed and I’ll be back.” As she left, she heard Jongin whine about being alone and he weakly got himself out of bed with the comforter and followed her up until the living room.

Jongin got well pretty fast after that as Sumin took care of him each day. However, Sumin ended with the exact same cold and had to deal with Jongin’s I told you so as he tended to her. The things she did for love.

Sehun

It was Sehun’s birthday and he had stayed at Myunghee’s place after she pleaded for him to so they could spend his birthday together. She planned to make him breakfast in bed. However, when she woke up wrapped in Sehun’s arms, she had half a mind to stay there. It was rare to wake up in her boyfriend’s arms and she always slept better with him around. She pecked the tip of his nose and whispered happy birthday even though her was out like a light before she slipped out of his arms.

Myunghee made him all his favorite food as well as some seaweed soup for him then placed it all on a tray with tea and orange juice. She balanced the tray in her hands as she returned to her bedroom to wake her boyfriend. With a bit of a struggle, she was able to put the tray on the dresser and went to Sehun’s side to wake him. “Oppa…” She touched his shoulder as she shook him lightly. Sehun responded with a groan, but didn’t wake up. She sighed as she leaned down and pecked his slightly parted lips then shook him once more, “Sehun oppa, wake up.”

His eyes opened slowly and he met her gaze, “Whaaa” he whined still half asleep.

“Happy birthday” her eyes twinkled as her lips pulled to a small smile, “I made you breakfast.” As Sehun sat up, Myunghee went to retrieve the tray of food and placed it in front of him as he rubbed his eyes. Sehun didn’t touch the food and looked at Myunghee, “What’s wrong?”

He let out a huff, “You woke me up for food. You could at least feed me.”

She rolled her eyes, “Just because it’s your birthday doesn’t mean you can be a brat.”

“That’s exactly what it means, love. Now get to feeding” he opened his mouth for her to feed him. With a scoff and an eye roll, she picked up the chopsticks and fed him. He gave a grin in appreciation as he chewed the food she made him.

Getting sick in Korea

After our second day in Busan, I got sick with a pretty annoying cold. It manifested itself entirely in my respiratory system and my nose has yet to stop producing snot - it has been over a week since I got sick. 

My nose was extremely stuffed up, my whole body ached, and I just felt miserable. The great thing about Korea is that they are OBSESSED with health care and taking any means necessary to be healthy. This meant that I had some of the most affordable medicine and health care at my finger tips. The bad thing about Korea is that they are obsessed with health care and being healthy - this means there is a little bit of a stigma attached with being visibly sick/coughing/snotting everywhere. Additionally, if you mention in passing that you are sick or feeling sick Koreans will kill you with kindness in all their recommendations and prescriptions for ways for you to get better. A lot of the time they freak out and think that maybe you should go to the hospital. For them, health care is so affordable and easy to access that a trip to the doctor is a no brainer for any ailment. 

Chris and I had had intentions to go see my Uncle Eddie and aunt who were putting on a concert at the college where my uncle is a professor in Ulsan. Unfortunately, I got too sick and both my uncle and cousin insisted that it would be better if I stayed in Busan. Both recommended that maybe I should go to the hospital, haha. 

Instead, I just went to the pharmacies and picked up decongestants, painkillers, vitamins, and herbal drinks. A korean pharmacy is different than in the US. You can’t get anything without first asking a pharmacist. You don’t need a prescription for most things, but you do have to consult the pharmacist before you can get anything - even advil. As an aside, birth control pills are available without prescription in Korea and they all cost around $10. Things like that makes me furious with the health care system in the US. 

ANYWAY. So I got my western medicine and then I got some herbal remedies. One thing that I learned from my friends at Flower Child was that Koreans love these drinkable vitamin and herbal medicines. One, which is available at convenience stores and pharmacies, is just a huge dose of vitamin c. 

The other is this herbal drink that you are meant to consume warm. It tastes a little bitter, but also sweet. It’s dark, a little syrupy, and smells a little like licorice. The only thing I’ve tasted that had a similar flavor was bee propolis, which is in itself a weird homeopathic remedy and most people have probably not tried it. I had no idea what it was called, but a quick google search revealed that it is called Ssanghwatang or Ssanghwa Gold and is made up of several different herbs. 

Sadly, my cold slightly tainted our time in Busan. It never got so bad that I needed to go to the hospital, but I was not feeling great for several days and the cold is still lingering as I write this in Tokyo. 

Being sick while traveling SUCKS. I think that is obvious, but I felt obligated to write that out. I missed being able to curl up in my own bed, get disgustingly surrounded by tissues, make myself soup and tea, and watch hours and hours of Netflix. Instead, I was staying in a strangers home, in a foreign place where I only had a few days to really explore and enjoy it. I felt this guilt about staying in, so I think I might’ve prolonged this cold because I didn’t stay indoors for the duration of the worst of the cold. Instead, Chris and I did small trips around the neighborhood and at the first sign of me getting my strength back we took some bigger trips to do some more sightseeing. 

The nice thing is that korean food is the perfect cold food - lots of soups, spicy foods for clearing the sinuses, kimchi for good stomach health, and warm broths. 

I still have to take it slow every day. Traveling has made me painfully aware of how long it takes for the body to get over something as stupid as a common cold.

[ARTICOLO] Il listening Cafe di Lee Sohee. Vuoi una tazza di Paldogangsan ssanghwacha dei BTS?

[*ssanghwacha/Ssanghwa Tea è un tè medicinale tradizionale fatto con varie erbe. Queste erbe vengono bollite per ore.]

“Proprio come Gong Yoo che ha il suo piccolo cafè nel mondo come CF, anche i cantanti e i fan hanno i loro cafè segreti. Anche se solitamente solo le title track vengono richieste dai clienti, ci sono molti altri capolavori fatti con diversi ingredienti! Vedremo da vicino alcune ricette delle non-title song che forse non conoscevate.

01. dal primo mini album dei BTS ‘O!RUL8,2?’ - ‘팔도강산’  (Paldogangsan)

Hanno scritto “Oh! Are you late, too?” (Oh! Anche tu in ritardo?) così ‘O!RUL8,2?’. Proprio come il titolo dell’album che è difficile da leggere, ‘O!RUL8,2?’ racconta una storia complicata. Il titolo chiede agli ascoltatori “Anche tu in ritardo?”. Il titolo dice agli ascoltatori di trovare la felicità nella propria vita prima che sia troppo tardi.

EnterOn Idol Cafe Primo mini album ‘O!RUL8,2?’ – BTS

Nome della bevanda … Paldogangsan dei BTS Consigliato a … ascoltatori che vogliono sentire un rap classico ma giovanile Atmosfera consigliata … in un cafè retro con un vibe vintage.

‘Paldogangsan’, la nona traccia dell’album, è la versione aggiornata del 2013 di quella registrata nel 2011 durante i loro giorni da trainee. Si ricollega al messaggio ‘Sei in ritardo?’ ed è anche una canzone che contiene ricordi delle intenzioni originali dei BTS e dei loro vecchi tempi.

La prima versione è stata rilasciata nel 2011 ed era stata registrata da Rap Monster, Suga e J-Hope ma nella nuova versione sono state inserite anche le voci degli altri membri. V, che è stato l’ultimo ad unirsi al gruppo, ha detto di aver pensato “devo assolutamente unirmi a questo gruppo” dopo aver ascoltato le tracce non ufficiali “Hookgayo” e “Paldogangsan”.

“Il vostro ‘BTS Paldogangsan’ è pronto”

Una varietà di erbe ottime per la salute

Il tempo di bollire il tè come si deve

◇ Ricetta: ssanghwatang forte

La canzone che aprirà il Listening Cafe è Paldogangsan dei BTS. Paldogangsan è come il ssanghwatang. Il ssanghwatang solitamente viene ordinato dalle persone più anziane ed è conosciuto come bevanda medicinale che fa bene da bere quando hai il raffreddore. È fatto con erbe come la peonia, radice di angelica coreana, Cnidium officinale milkvetch che fanno bene al nostro corpo e crea un effetto placebo che fa sentire chi lo beve più forte.

Questo si può collegare alla canzone. J-Hope da Gwangju e Suga da Daegu usano il loro affascinante dialetto regionale. Quando ascolti l’allegro ed eccitante satoori rap dei membri, sentirai sicuramente il classico vibe e il ritmo ti farà venire voglia di muoverti. La canzone ti aiuta ad alleviare la stanchezza.

Comunque la canzone “ssanghwatang” dei BTS non è completamente antica o troppo tradizionale. I BTS hanno questo loro stile unico e ci hanno incuriosito con questa fusione tra lo stampo tradizionale coreano e il beat hip hop.

A causa del drama “Reply” molti cafè hanno seguito il tema retro. Nuovi locali sono stati fatti con lo stile dei vecchi dabang (coffee shop). “Paldogangsan” è un mix di questa generazione e il satoori tradizionale.

Tra l’altro la dedizione e il tempo che si utilizza per far bollire il ssanghwatang mi hanno fatto pensare all’impegno che ci hanno messo i BTS fino dai tempi dei loro giorni da trainee per arrivare dove sono oggi. “Paldogangsan” ti aiuta a tornare velocemente indietro nel tempo e ti permette di assaporare la freschezza e la determinazione che avevano i BTS appena dopo il debutto.”
