Mr. Kim is a third-generation, Hadong-based smallholder who's been head of the family garden for thirty years now. Though mostly a fresh tea producer, Kim has also studied pu'er production extensively and is largely self taught in his craft. In his humble, wooden tea room you find rows of tongs each aged a minimum of five years. Well drained, rocky saprolite soils are regular throughout Kim's gardens, ideal for the tea plant, ensuring deep root ramification. This Jungjak production carries the rich, earthy aroma that the region is known for.
