Korean Tea

Korean Tea Basics:

• The first harvest, traditionally plucked before the date called Gok-u (around April 20), is called oojeon (or woojeon).
• The second harvest, plucked between Gok-u and Ipha (May 5), is called sejak (or seajak).
• The third harvest, after Ipha, is called jungjak.  
• Cho Ui, a Buddhist monk from the 19th century, is often celebrated as Korea’s ’tea saint’.
