Hwang cha means yellow tea in Korean. Sometimes it is also called Balhyocha (Paryocha) – fermented / oxidized tea.
Korean whole-leaf, partially fermented tea. Dry leaf is formed of lightly rolled, long, wire-like leaves, looking relatively dark, sweet honey fragrance with wood and resinous tones. Liquor of golden-green colour, sweet fruity (lychee) to honey-like taste with resinous tones and very long and strong chocolate aftertaste.
The tea is from the Hadong area, South Korea, which is to the south of the famous Jirisan hills. The tea from wild tea plants growing between the Ssanggye-sa and Dasol-sa monasteries is processed manually.

Preparation: Allow 1 teaspoon (4 g) of tea for 200 ml of boiled water, cooled down to 85°C, steep for 1 minute. You can prepare quite a few infusions in a similar way.
