Grade First Flush Daejak (large beak) Jaksul (sparrow's beak) Nokcha (green tea) Harvest Date Early May Farm Location Unrim Village, Gyeombaek District, Boseong County, South Jeolla Province, Korea Origin Single Estate Harvest Method Machine harvested Processing Method Wilted, steamed, rolled and dried. Lightly roasted prior to packaging. Product Number BU05-B This Boseong First Flush Daejak green tea is harvested in late spring at Mangjong (the "grain in ear" season), then steamed to prevent any oxidation, thereby maintaining the distinctive color and taste of the spring harvest. Jaksul (sparrow's beak) refers to the shape of the iconic "bud and two leaves" found at the tip of spring growth on the camellia sinensus bush. The two spreading leaves resemble an open bird’s beak and the emerging bud looks like its tongue sticking out. Daejak means "large beak". Packaged in 25 biodegradable pyramid tea bags (2g per bag) in a resealable pouch. We have this same tea available in loose leaf form here.
