Description
This Grand Cru is made by our friend Mr Choi, in one of the finest tea estates in Boseong county, in the "land of morning calm". This tea is a "Sejak", a Korean word meaning a green tea harvested in the spring.
A delicate tea whose sweetness extends milky, vegetal notes. Its elegant powdery texture prolongs its fragrances.
