Teas UniqueKorean Jeju Island First Flush Green Tea, 100g

Get it! You won’t be disappointed! The packaging is on point as well and keeps the tea fresh, it is sealed and foil lined- no need to transfer unless you have needs for a longer duration of storing. Fantastic tea, chock full of theanine- very healthy, warming and inviting. Follow the brewing recommendation on the package, which is just right in terms of temperature and strength. I find a shorter steeping time gets more of the good flavors from the tea without being bitter, astringent or too vegetal. If you aren’t experienced with this tea, do note it has rather strong vegetal notes- you may not find this suitable to your taste preference, but this tea is known for that. So do your research and hopefully this review helps.

Tasted stale and rough. Brewed with gongfu method 3g of leaf in a 120ml hohin at 76°c starting with a 30s steep and adding +5s each steep. Could barely get three steeps with it and none were that pleasant in my opinion. Might’ve been better closer to the harvest date. Had some good flavors and aroma akin to green bean and other veggies with a buttery taste as well but was quickly overpowered with a bitterness and weirdly textured mouthfeel and a kinda swamp water like flavor. Didn’t have a long lingering aftertaste to it as well compared to other Korean greens I’ve tried. Do want to try the higher quality greens from here to see if there’s any difference since I feel this one just isn’t up to where I like my greens.

Lived in Korea for almost a decade. Tried many teas from the first pick of the season to cheap store-bought ones. This is as good as I've had. Leaves seem to be first pick -- small, whole, and no stems at all. Very mild flavor. The price is also quite reasonable, even by Korean standards.

This is a really good colored green tea, seems like all young leaves, I like the fact don't need a diffuser. Once you pour hot water into the cup after few minutes all the tea leaves since to the bottom. This is all tea leaves no twigs or by-products of green tea. They have picked all the young green tea leaves for this product, you can tell by chewing the leaves that its very tender. meaning young tea leaves premium stuff.

This tea is super fresh, I can even eat it raw and tastes great, no bitterness at all raw and brewed. Never thought Korean green tea would be so good, before I was sticking with Japanese tea only but this has definitely opened my mind, this is some really killer stuff. This is the first harvest which I can tell it is! It's so FRESH! Plus you won't have to worry about radiation issues.

This is a good replacement for TAZO Jeju Island green tea. It's not a perfect replacement, but the best I have found so far. It is a light green tea and does not require a long steeping period. It tastes fresh is very enjoyable.

I've had extraordinary Jeju island green tea. Either this tea is last year's crop or poorly stored and then sold. Flat tasting, not as flavorful as it could be. Different temperature brewing made little difference.

I bought this after getting a 12 sample box a few years ago. Out of the 12 teas there were 3 I really liked. This was one of them. They come in a resealable foil pouch.
