Korea comes to your cup with this Korean green tea
Korean green tea remains rare in France, as a large part of its production is consumed in its country of origin.
In Korea, tea cultivation is mainly done on Jeju Island. After the leaf harvest, they are either steam-bathed, like Japanese Sencha, or roasted at high temperature, as in China.
The method used influences the taste of green teas. With steam, the tea has a flavor similar to Japanese Sencha, meaning mild and fresh. As for roasted tea, it is deeper and fruity, with roasted notes while remaining delicate.
Finally, a last Korean practice called Gu Jung Gu Po consists of roasting and rolling the leaves nine times. This removes the tannin contained in the tea, for an even more umami flavor. This is the method used for our organic Korean green tea.
