FAQ
Before you order
Every bottle is pressed on the day your order ships โ no warehouse storage. Sets leave our New Jersey press the same day and arrive with the aroma still fresh. For guaranteed Chuseok delivery, order before the cut-off date shown at checkout.
Keep it at room temperature, away from direct light. The amber UV-blocking bottle already slows oxidation significantly, so refrigeration is not required.
Yes. That's the seed's natural fiber, released when the seed cells burst during cold pressing. Give the bottle a shake for a richer aroma and to take in all of the seed's nutrients.
Yes. Corporate Chuseok orders are welcome โ get in touch for volume pricing and delivery to multiple addresses. A separate carrier bag is included with every set, so they are ready to hand out as they are.
Every set is hand-tied in a Korean bojagi at no extra cost. Choose Brocade Pink & Purple, Silk Pink Beige, or Silk Teal when you add the set to your cart.
Light and extra-virgin oils finish clean and let the ingredients shine; medium roasts bring deep, full nuttiness. The Chef's Guide above breaks down all four side by side.

There are faster, more efficient ways to scale โ but to preserve the full flavor and nutrition of the seed, we press small batches, every single day.
At its freshest, at its finest.
