Ujeon Gold Jubilee: The Ultra-Premium Edition of Korea's Ultimate First Flush
Ujeon (雨前, literally "Before the Rain") represents the absolute pinnacle grade of Korean green tea. These prized leaves are meticulously hand-picked before April 20th, ahead of the first heavy spring rains, at a fleeting moment when the young buds reach their peak structural delicacy. The annual yield is incredibly small, making it one of the rarest and most sought-after teas in South Korea.
This Gold Jubilee signature edition by Ssanggyemyeongcha celebrates the 50-year legacy of the house founded by legendary Tea Master Kim Dong-gon, a pioneering figure in artisanal Korean tea cultivation. Encased in a luxurious, round golden metallic tin set against a deep navy blue background, this premium batch flawlessly blends centennial tea traditions with an exceptional, prestige presentation.
In the Cup: It reveals a smooth, luminous, pale green liquor brimming with vibrant spring floral aromas. The mouthfeel is incredibly silky, unfurling a subtle, clean umami sweetness that lingers gracefully on the palate with virtually no astringency. Each high-quality pyramid tea bag comfortably yields 2 to 3 successive infusions.
Brewing Instructions: Steep 1 pyramid bag for 2 minutes in 150ml to 200ml of filtered water cooled to 70°C (158°F).
Content: 10 premium pyramid tea bags x 1.5g. Prestige Edition. Made in South Korea.
