Korea Gamnong Nokcha – Premium Green Tea from Jeollanamdo, Yeongam
Fresh, lightly sweet, tender yet rich, and with soft grassy and umami undertones, Korea Gamnong Nokcha is a rare green tea from the fertile hills of Yeongam, Jeollanamdoon on South Korea’s southern mainland.
Korea Gamnong Nokcha comes from a family-run garden that has been producing tea organically since 1965. Only the finest shaded tea leaves from the early harvest are used, harvested for their tenderness, delicate aroma, and rich flavour. Every step of the production, from careful tending of the plants to hand-harvesting, is overseen by the family head and a multiple award-winning tea master, ensuring consistently high quality.
Traditionally steamed to preserve its vibrant green colour, subtle sweetness, and natural umami, Gamnong Nokcha delivers a smooth, balanced cup with gentle grassy notes and a lingering depth. This tea is prized by connoisseurs for its fresh aroma and refined flavour, making it an exceptional example of authentic Korean green tea.
