This first flush sejak ("small beak") first flush (earliest spring growth) whole leaf green tea was machine harvested mid-April, then wilted, steamed, rolled and dried. Hand selecting only the bud and two leaves from the harvested material, this tea is similar in quality to handpicked jaksul (sparrows 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 Koreas southern coast.
