Let us introduce two very unique Korean tea: Yak Balhyocha and Hwang Cha. Both teas are from a very respectful farmer who lives his life like a monk.

In South Korea, green tea is very commonly consumed among monks in temples. This farmer realized that since monks have very strict vegetarian diet, and in oriental medicine green tea tends to have more cooking characteristics, so it might not be ideal to be drunk widely along with the monks’ diet. So the farmer spent almost a decade to come up with teas that can help the monks stay calm and alert and at the same time can provide them warmth and comforts as well. Every year he has been practicing and improving and finally he humbly introduced us two of his favorite teas: Yak Balhyocha and Hwang Cha.

We fell in love with these two teas first time when we drank it. We could feel the farmer’s passion and care through the tea. These are very exquisite teas that make you feel calm and comforting immediately, exactly how it feels when we meet the farmer in person. The farmer hand-crafted all his tea without machine or labor help, therefore these teas only come in very small quantity. We would like to introduce these two very special teas to all our tea lovers. Hope you will enjoy them as much as we do!
