✔️ About us

In 1996, we began cultivating an eco-friendly tea plantation in Boseong, and we are now a leading agricultural company specializing in green tea, holding both domestic and international certifications for organic farming and contributing to low carbon. We strive to create pure and natural tea without any additives, cherishing the precious beauty of nature. Our commitment is to ensure that future generations can experience the beauty of nature and enjoy the traditional tea culture of Korea.

Dedicating our efforts since the 1990s to establish eco-friendly green tea plantations, we started by planting tea seeds received from the host’s father on the fertile land of Boseong. The outcome of our endeavor is the current organic and low-carbon green tea fields.

We actively participate in building rural communities, sharing our knowledge on eco-friendly tea plantation, and creating a joyful work environment.

✔️ Farming Experience since 1996

✔️ Farm Type Hands-on Farm

✔️ Main Crop Green tea

✔️ Farming Method

We exclusively adhere to organic farming, and our green tea fields were the first to receive low-carbon certification.

Without the use of chemical products, we manually remove weeds by hand, utilizing them as natural fertilizer. In winter, we gather fallen leaves to create compost, practicing healthy and sustainable agriculture.

✔️ Organic Lifestyle

For several years, we have been living a vegan lifestyle, consuming only plant-based foods. Although we are not religious, we have been influenced by Buddhism. The connection between tea culture and Buddhism has a deep significance for us. Buddhism is based on the spirit of respecting all life, including animals, plants, and even the earth and water. Additionally, in an era of diversity, Buddhism encourages an inclusive and tolerant attitude, promoting acceptance rather than hatred and exclusion.
