Why You’ll Love It
This Korean green tea is loved for its soft, balanced character, without the sharp bitterness or strong oceanic intensity often found in other green teas.
It offers gentle floral notes and a natural nutty grain warmth, layered with fresh green umami that feels smooth and inviting.
The finish is clean and calming, with a light bitterness, lingering umami, and a subtle touch of sweetness that leaves you wanting another sip.

Established in 1979 as a tea plantation on the picturesque Jeju Island, Osulloc benefits from its pristine environment, ideal climate, and volcanic soil—a perfect combination for cultivating tea.
Derived from "O" (meaning "five" in Korean) and "sulloc" (meaning "rock" in the Jeju dialect), the name Osulloc signifies the five rock formations found on Jeju Island. These unique geological features contribute to the tea's distinct flavor and exceptional quality.
While initially focused on supplying raw tea leaves to other companies, Osulloc expanded its operations in 1991 to establish its own brand. Embracing strict quality control and innovative tea-making techniques, Osulloc began processing and packaging its tea leaves, gaining recognition for its commitment to excellence.
In 2015, Osulloc made waves in the tea industry by triumphing at the North American Tea Championship, the world's largest tea show.
Out of an astounding 2,500 entries in the roasted division, Osulloc's Sejak Tea claimed the coveted first place.
Notably, Osulloc's teas have also been honored with the Gold Award at Japan's esteemed World Tea Contest in Shizuoka, in 2009, 2011, 2014, and 2021.
So today, we're excited to offer this Osulloc's award-winning Korean Sejak Green Tea!
This tea is made solely from young green tea leaves, organically grown in the volcanic soil of Jeju Island.
It offers a refreshing aroma and a deep savory flavor, with delightful notes of nuttiness and subtle sweetness.
