Are Benefits in Korean Citrine Tea the same as in a Citrine Gemstone?

Question: Are Benefits in Korean Citrine Tea the same as in a Citrine Gemstone?
I was reading the article about the gemstone Citrine. There is a Korean tea called Citrine. I was wondering if the two correlate in anyway? In other words, can I get the same benefits by drinking the tea that I can if I had the stone?

Answer: Hello j.b.
I am not familiar with Korean Citrine Tea, but I would imagine that the name of this tea "Citrine" originates from an ingredient that flavors the tea such as citrus peel or dried citrus fruit (possibly lemon or orange). Or, perhaps the name of this tea originates from the color of the brewed tea. If you are looking to drink a remedy, you might consider trying crystal elixirs. A crystal is placed in a glass of water (purified or spring), allowing the water to be charged with the healing properties that emit from the gemstone. Obviously, you will want to take special precaution not to swallow the stone.
