Fragrant Jeju Black Tea

Black tea, a representative fermented tea, is made by spreading out the tea leaves for a certain period of time to dry them, then going through a 'Yu-yeom' process where physical force is applied to the tea leaves to evenly distribute the moisture content, and then fermenting and drying them. The quality of black tea is determined by the ratio of theaflavins and thearubigins produced during the fermentation process. If fermentation is insufficient and the proportion of theaflavin is high, the color of the broth will be close to greenish orange and it will have a bitter and stimulating taste. Also, if fermentation is over, the proportion of thearubigin will increase, the color of the broth will be brown and the taste will be bland, and the unique taste and aroma of black tea will disappear. Black tea with appropriate fermentation has a unique bitter and astringent taste in harmony, giving it a refreshing taste.
