Teas Unique 2020 Korean Jeju Island Ujeon (Woojeon) Organic Green Tea, 50g

This ujeon ("before the first spring rain") first flush (earliest spring growth) whole leaf green tea was machine harvested April 18, then wilted, steamed, rolled and dried. Hand selecting only the bud and two leaves from the harvested material, this USDA certified organic tea is similar in quality to handpicked jaksul (sparrow’s beak) nokcha (green tea). The tea leaves are loaded with theanine (amino acids) providing a mellow, sweet taste to this whole leaf tea. This single estate tea comes from the fertile volcanic soil of the cool southern slope of Mt. Halla on Jeju Island, located off Korea’s southern coast. Teas Unique is dedicated to bringing the finest organic, single estate, artisan, whole leaf and powder teas from Korea to the international market. We import directly from the farmers who produce our teas and strive to bring the most delicious pure teas from all of the major growing regions of Korea to our international customers.
