Honam Tea Estates

Hankook Tea directly manages the operation and production of Honam Tea Estates. The complete control over the tea has allowed Hankook Tea to take quality to new levels, creating a taste of integrity within each sip.

The locations for our Honam Tea Estates have been carefully chosen for their ideal localities for producing the best teas grown in Korea. Before planting, each location had been examined for ideal temperatures, abundant rainfall, rich soil conditions and natural beauty. To ensure taste consistency in our teas, year after year, the tea estates are strategically distanced from each other throughout the province of Jeolla-namdo.

Upholding strict standards, Honam Tea Estates uses eco-friendly agricultural methods that are harmonious with its surrounding environment. Each tender leaf is allowed to grow at its natural pace, free from pesticides.

Cultivated by Hankook Tea Company and Honam Tea Estates.

	Jangseong Tea Plantation (13 acres) Nokjin-ri, Jangseong-gun, Jeolla-namdo  Established in 1965, this location boasts 40-year-old, 30-year-old and 20-year-old tea trees planted throughout its fields. Certified organic and located in the northernmost point of the province of Jeolla-namdo, the cooler climate makes Jangseong ideal for tea shrubs reserved for malcha (powdered green tea).
