Grown and hand-crafted on a beautiful family farm, this rare Korean “yellow” tea defies categorisation or expectation.

Our loose leaf hwangcha tea is a deliciously complex infusion that can be enjoyed equally on its own or as a rather lovely accompaniment to both sweet and savoury food.

Tasting Notes

Fruity with subtle tart notes of grape, quince, dark cherry and rye berries; balanced with a gentle toasty, roasted flavour.

Quantity

Use 0.2 oz of leaf per 5.5 fl oz of water (3g per 150ml).

Temperature

For the optimum infusion use 176°F (80°C) water.

Time

Infuse for 60 - 90 seconds, tasting regularly.

Infusions

You can infuse this tea at least three times. With each careful infusion, different subtleties of flavour are revealed.

Cost Per Cup

1$ per cup based on 0.2 oz of tea per 5.1 fl oz of water and 3 infusions.

Hwangcha tea is particularly good with food. Try it infused hot with buttered toast and sweet jam or salmon sashimi with soy sauce and rice. We also recommend making a cold infused iced tea to pair with avocado or eggs for a deliciously refreshing breakfast tea. It is a favourite of chef Cory Lee at his 3 Michelin Star restaurant, Benu in San Francisco.
