Some places seem untouched by time.
The mist-covered valleys of Hadong, Korea, are among them.
Organic Joongjak captures the spirit of this remarkable tea-growing region in a cup that feels calm, balanced, and beautifully connected to nature. Harvested after May 5th, during Korea’s traditional Joongjak harvest season, this tea offers a deeper, more rounded character than the earliest spring pickings while preserving the freshness and elegance Korean green tea is known for.
The flavour is gentle yet expressive—sweet vegetal notes reminiscent of fresh-cut grass and spring meadows, softened by hints of wildflowers and a subtle nuttiness that lingers long after the final sip.
It is a tea that encourages stillness.
A tea for quiet mornings, thoughtful afternoons, and moments when the world feels a little too fast.
Origin
This tea comes from Hadong, South Korea, one of the country's most celebrated tea-growing regions and home to a tea tradition that stretches back more than a thousand years.
Nestled among mountains, rivers, and ancient forests, Hadong offers ideal conditions for cultivating tea with exceptional purity and balance. The region’s fertile soil, abundant rainfall, and cool mountain air help produce teas that are both vibrant and refined.
Organic Joongjak is harvested during the third traditional Korean tea harvest, which takes place after Ipha (May 5th).
This later spring harvest allows the leaves additional time to mature, creating a tea with greater body, softer sweetness, and a more rounded flavour profile.
Understanding Korean Tea Harvests
Korean green tea is traditionally categorized by harvest period:
Woojeon (우전)
The earliest and most prized harvest, picked before Gok-u (around April 20).
Sejak (세작)
The second harvest, picked between Gok-u and Ipha (May 5).
Joongjak (중작)
The third harvest, picked after Ipha (May 5).
Joongjak teas are appreciated for their balance—offering freshness and complexity while developing greater depth and sweetness than earlier harvests.
How It Is Made
After harvest, the leaves are carefully processed using traditional Korean green tea methods designed to preserve freshness, colour, and natural aroma.
The leaves are gently heated to prevent oxidation, locking in their vibrant green character while maintaining softness and clarity in the cup.
This careful craftsmanship allows the tea to retain its delicate balance between vegetal freshness, floral elegance, and subtle nutty warmth.
The result is a tea that feels effortless and harmonious.
Nothing dominates.
Everything works together.
