Friday, September 25, 2009 - Labels: Boseong, Camellia sinensis, green tea - 2 Comments
Point Of Origin
Green Tea, Chinese tea, and the black tea from India or Sri Lanka are all made with leaves from the same bush, Camellia sinensis.
Harvest Time
The Taepyongyang company's tea plantations at Boseong employ dozens of women during the brief tea-picking season between April and June.
Formal Ceremony
Holding their cups in both hands, first admire the color, then inhale the fragrance, then drink and savor the aftertaste.
Tools of the Trade
Korean potters copy some of the country's finest ancient pottery to create a Korean style of tea service.
