Jakseol Teukseon green tea: Korean loose leaf green tea from Hankook Jeda

Jakseol, or "sparrow's tongue", is a Korean loose leaf green tea. This special selection (teukseon) comes from Hankook Jeda, a tea house founded in 1951 and based in Gwangju. The leaves are grown in the Honam region, in Jangseong, Yeongam and Haenam, and harvested from late April to early September. They 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, in its Yeongam factory, to keep them fresh, then a second processing just before shipping to preserve the aroma and depth of flavour.
