Woojeon South Korea

Experience the rarest Korean green tea (Nokcha). Our Woojeon-grade tea comes from a single, award-winning estate and represents the year's first harvest. Hand-plucked in mid-April just before the monsoon rains, these delicate young buds are known as "Jakseol," or sparrow's tongue. The small, dark green leaves occasionally show a bright green curl, hinting at the light yellow liquor they produce. To craft a cup that is both delicate and rich, master cultivators carefully wilt, steam, roll, and gently roast the budding leaves.
