Hwangcha: Korean yellow tea from Hankook Jeda in an 80 g tube
Hwangcha, or "yellow tea", is a lightly fermented Korean tea with a golden liquor. This one comes from Hankook Jeda, a tea house founded in 1951 and based in Gwangju. The leaves come from South Korea, in the Honam region, and are packed in a cylindrical cardboard tube, easy to store.
The house's work
The house states that it carries out a first processing of the leaves near the gardens, then a second processing just before shipping to preserve the aroma and depth of flavour. Its teas are made from 100% Korean leaves.
