HONAM TEA ESTATES

Elegant Masterpieces of Natural Purity

Hankook Tea directly manages the operations and productions of Honam Tea Estate,
creating a taste of integrity within each steep.

 

    The locations for our Honam Tea Estate have been carefully chosen for their ideal localities for producing the best teas grown in Korea. Before planting, each location had been examined for ideal temperatures, abundant rainfall, rich soil conditions and natural beauty. To ensure taste consistency in our teas, year after year, the tea estates are strategically distanced from each other throughout the province of Jeolla-namdo.
      Upholding strict standards, Honam Tea Estate uses eco-friendly agricultural methods that are harmonious with its surrounding environment. Each tender leaf is allowed to grow at its natural pace, free from pesticides.
