Volcanic island · Maritime climate
Volcanic soils, Hallasan mist and a modern island expression
Jeju is shaped by porous volcanic soils, abundant rainfall, maritime winds and cloud or mist generated around Hallasan. These island conditions create a growing environment clearly distinct from Boseong and Hadong, while larger estates often pair the terroir with tightly controlled field-to-cup production.
