Why is Boseong Green Tea so good?
Boseong is the optimal place for tea cultivation in the world
- As a place where mountains, ocean and lakes joint together and oceanic and continental climates converge, Boseong has a wide temperature gap, which significantly influences the formation of amino acids in the tea leaves. The tea plantations in Boseong account for about 37% of the total produced nationwide.
- Annual average temperature is 13.4℃ and annual average rainfall reaches 1,400mm. The soil contains eleven essential elements so it is an optimal area to grow tea trees.
- Misty days happen very often. Mist provides enough water for tea plants to thrive while providing shade against sunlight. This gift of nature creates the best flavor.
- With an optimal natural climate, soil, geography, lakes and sea, Boseong is the place that produces top-level tea.
