Luxury Korean Daejak Green Tea

Daejak - Green Tea - $15

Jirisan Mountain is the home of Korean luxury tea

Daejak Green Tea comes from the Hadong region of south west South Korea. Hadong is recognised as the birthplace and the best tea growing region of South Korea.

 

The tea is classified as semi-wild as the tea plants have self seeded from the original tea plants grown 1200 years ago. They grow within the Jirisan National Park, amongst the bamboo forests and the pure water of the Sumjim River. Because of the steep hillsides the entire picking process is done by hand with meticulous care.

 

Our Tea Master takes the freshly harvested young shoots and gently pan fires them in a great iron cauldron heated by a wood-fuelled fire, which takes many hours of very gentle pressure at a relatively low heat, adding to each vintage’s unique hue, fragrance and flavor.

Daejak is the last harvest of tea and is a pale golden  colour. This tea infuses to a remarkably sweet cup with a round mouth feel and a sensual richness - a far cry from the bitter, harsh industrial grown teas.
