Green tea
Tea from Korea – Teukseon
Harvested in early May in the southern part of Jeolla Province in South Korea, this spring green tea is produced at the heart of Mr Yangwon Seo’s family farm, which has been awarded the title of “Traditional Food Master” by the South Korean Ministry of Agriculture.
Processed into small, twisted leaves of a beautiful dark green, this Teukseon tea, classified as ‘Sejak’ grade, offers a refreshing infusion with a smooth texture, a vegetal liquor developing slightly roasted hazelnut notes, and a finish marked by a slight astringency.
Brewing instructions:
European style: steep for 2 minutes, using 2g of tea in 150ml of water heated to 158°F.
Traditional style: steep for 1 to 1,5 minute, using 4g of tea in 180ml of water heated to 167–185°F.

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.
Place your order on our website. Once your products have been prepared and carefully packed by the store of your choice, you will receive a notification to come and collect them.
We use 100% recyclable, FSC-certified protective paper to ensure your products reach you in perfect condition.
