JEJU, South Korea, Sept 25 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) — Clean Jeju Green Tea Agricultural Cooperative ‘Sumang’ revealed that it is expanding its presence in the global market with Hojicha, the recently launched premium organic green tea, and matcha produced on Jeju Island.
Founded in 2007, Sumang cultivates tea in soil rich in maekbanseok (a type of igneous rock) minerals, located near the sea with a mild climate and frequent fog that provides abundant moisture.
