We have known and worked with many of our tea farmers for over a decade. It was 15 years ago that we first met Mr Il-Nam Ha and visited his small farm in Bosong. Since then he has moved the heart of ancient Korea tea culture in Hwagae and Jirishan where he started a factory that processes tea from over 80 small farmers with on average just half an acre each. Like at his previous farm, all the farmers he works with farm without chemicals but unlike his old farm many of the trees are several hundred years old and descended from the first tea trees grown in Korea.<\/p>\n

The tea fields are the uniform tea fields usually found in east Asia. They are much more rocky and natural, like some of the planting you find in the Wuyi mountains.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

WOOJEON
\nThe earliest and most highly prized green tea \u00a0made by Dong Cheon for a co-op\u00a0of 88 farmers\u00a0who use no pesticides or\u00a0artificial fertilisers.\u00a0Produced from ancient tea trees that are\u00a0descended from seeds brought back from\u00a0China by Buddhist monks many centuries ago. Sweet and delicate with an incredibly pleasing savoury aroma.<\/div>\n

Note: When these leaves are processed as a black tea they make our Korean Black<\/a>, and the later summer tea is our Nokcha<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Less than 1kg of this tea is available this year.<\/p>\n
