Fermented Korean Jeju
Discover Fermented Korean Jeju, a distinctive Korean speciality tea grown on the volcanic island of Jeju, off the southern coast of South Korea.
Produced initially like a black tea, this unusual tea undergoes an additional fermentation stage towards the end of processing, developing the rich, earthy character associated with fermented teas such as Chinese Pu-Erh.
The result is a fascinating tea that combines the depth of black tea with a distinctive earthy undertone & a beautifully smooth finish.
Expect a rich, earthy tea with gentle tannins & a smooth, rounded finish.
The additional fermentation stage gives this tea its distinctive depth, while its lightly tannic character provides structure without overwhelming the cup.
