Jeju Island First Flush Green Tea (제주첫물녹차), 25 Tea Bags (50g)

Grade Joongjak, First Flush Nokcha (green tea) Harvest Date Late April Farm Location Mt. Halla, Harye Village, Jeju Island, Korea Origin Single Estate Harvest Method Machine Harvested Young Leaves Processing Method Wilted, steamed, rolled and dried. Product Number JU11-B25 This first flush Joongjak whole leaf green tea was machine harvested at the end of April. The tender young leaves are then steamed to prevent any oxidation, thereby maintaining the distinctive color and taste of the first spring harvest. Jaksul (sparrow's beak) refers to the shape of the iconic "bud and two leaves" found at the tip of spring growth on the camellia sinensus bush. The two spreading leaves resemble an open bird’s beak and the emerging bud looks like its tongue sticking out. Joongjak means "medium beak". Packed in 25 biodegradable pyramid tea bags (2g per bag) in a resealable pouch. We have this same tea available in loose leaf here.
