A great Korean tea which has been produced entirely by hand from the Jungjak picking. It produces an astonishing first brew.
A smaller leaf Korean tea from the Jungjak (third) flush. Early flushes are more expensive as they are more prestigious and consist of smaller leaves (more picking to produce the same amount of tea) all of which contribute to the higher price.
Sourced at a discounted rate from another UK retailer who imported it direct from Jukro Tea Company, Korea. Jukro process all their teas entirely by hand utilising traditional Korean methods.
Tasting Notes:
- Soft floral aroma
- Roasted taste of grass and corn
Origin: Jukro Tea Company, Hwagae Valley, Hadong, Korea
Brewing Advice:
- Heat water to roughly 60°C/140°F
- Use 1-2 teaspoons per cup/small teapot
- Brew for 1-2 minutes
- Always remove the leaves from the water once the tea has brewed
- Re-use the leaves multiple times and increase steeping time with each subsequent infusion
- Best without milk
We always recommend experimenting with any new tea, to find the parameters which suit you best.

Tasting Notes: You can tell it was made with love and handpicked, definitely the star of the three. This tastes like a yasaeng-cha (wild tea). It had a nice mouthfeel, it doesn’t feel that different from the other two teas, but there is certainly something there that I can’t quite put my finger on. It reminds me a little of a Japanese green, but it still is distinctly Korean. This is the most complex of the three and is definitely worth the price. At the time of writing this it was being sold at $20.80 for 50g and is easily worth that price. While it is the tea I have the least to say, it is my favorite of the three. It is deceptively simple, I wasn’t that impressed with my first infusion, but in my second I started to recognize the various flavors in this tea.
