JEJU WOOJEON KOREAN GREEN TEA

This organically cultivated tea comes from the volcanic island of Jeju, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The tea gardens have almost perfect conditions for producing high-quality tea, shrouded in cloud, a mild climate and mineral-rich soil. 'Woojeon' means "before it rains", because the harvest takes place before the spring rain sets in. The glowing, bottle green cup has a rich scent with a fresh, grassy, sweet and almost hazelnut taste experience. It has an unusual method of production borrowing techniques from the tea masters of both Japan and China. The tea bushes are shaded before harvest and then the leaves are quickly steamed in the same way as a Japanese Gyokuro and then the tea is pan roasted in the same way as a traditional Chinese Green tea.
