Green tea
Tea from Korea - Gamnong
Also called "Jaksul Cha" (literally sparrow's tongue) for the delicate shape of its leaves, small and twisted typical of a Korean green tea, Gamnong tea is harvested by hand on the slopes of Mount Wolhul in the heart of the plantations of the counties of Yeongam and Jangseong renowned for producing green teas with exceptional flavors.
Garden Details: Altitude between 100 and 150 m.
Harvest Date: Late April.
Particularity: Mount Wolhul, where the plantations are located, enjoys a cool breeze all year round — ideal for tea cultivation.
Expert's Notes: This is a highly flavorful tea, with a milky character reminiscent of certain Japanese teas. Produced in very limited quantities, it offers a glimpse of the remarkable expertise of a still little-known terroir.
Tasting Moment: Depending on your sensitivity to caffeine.
Food Pairing: Raw fish, steamed white fish or grilled seafood, steamed green vegetables or fresh cucumber salad.

KNOW-HOW & QUALITY
Loose teas and infusions
All our teas and the plants used in infusions are selected through the seasons by our buyers, directly from our producers. All products are chosen for both their visual appearance and their organoleptic qualities. Compliance tests are then commissioned from a COFRAC-accredited external, independent laboratory before any orders are placed.
Once received, batches are placed in quarantine while we carry out two more tests. The first is an organoleptic test completed by our specialists (taste, smell and visual). The second comprises a series of analyses at a COFRAC.-accredited, independent, external lab.
At our factory, we have developed special optical sorting and dusting equipment for our raw ingredients. Delicate items are sorted by hand.
Our teas and infusions are unique recipes available loose, boxed and in sachets. The loose leaf format is the most environmentally friendly choice.
