Varieties
Japan
In Japan, konbu-cha or kobu-cha is kelp tea made by pouring boiling water into chopped edible kelp (kombu) and leaching or pouring hot water into powdered kelp[2].
The tea served on New Year's Day and at weddings is sometime kelp tea[2] because the pronunciation of kombu is similar to that of the last part of "yorokobu" (喜ぶ, meaning "be happy")[2].
Oo-buku-cha or dai-buku-cha is sencha green tea with kelp and umeboshi[3] and is drunk in New Year in Kansai region[3], wishing good health and happiness[3].
Powdery kelp tea are sold as an instant tea under the name of konbu-cha[1] or kobu-cha[2]. It is made by drying kelp to a fine powder and blending it with seasonings such as salt and sugar[2]. It's simply dissolved in hot water and enjoyed as a tea. Note that this type of konbu-cha does not contain any true tea (Camellia sinensis)[4][5][6].
The powdery kelp tea was invented by the founder of GYOKUROEN "Umazou Fujita" in 1918[1].
Ume-konbu-cha[1] or ume-Kobu-cha[7], which is powdery kelp tea added freeze-dried chopped umeboshi, is also sold as an instant tea[1] and is drunk as a tea in the same fashion.
Kelp tea is thought to have been drunk from quite a long time ago[2] because the edible use of kelp is from ancient times[2].
Tea using kelp already existed in Edo period (1603-1868) at the latest[1], and people in these days drank it by pouring boiling water over chopped kelp[1].
Korea
Either dried kelp powder or julienned kelp can be used to make the tea.[8]
Powdered tea can be made by pan-frying and pounding cleaned and dried kelp.[9] For a cup of hot water, two to three spoons of kelp powder is used.[9] Optionally, sugar or honey can be added.[9]
Alternatively, around 30 grams (1.1 oz) of cleaned kelp pieces are infused in 300–500 millilitres (11–18 imp fl oz; 10–17 US fl oz) of hot water.[10] The kelp slices are removed after infusing, and salt is added to taste.[10]
