세작 Sae-jyak

A tea that holds the full vitality of spring.
Young leaves, gathered when spring rain awakens the earth —
a gentle first-flush tea, made for the everyday.

Tea Point

Korea divides its year into twenty-four solar terms. Gokwoo — the rain that wakes the grains — arrives in late April. Sae-jyak is harvested in the days that follow, when spring is at its fullest.

After the Rain, the Heart of Spring

After the spring rain has nurtured the young leaves, Sae-jyak is gathered at the heart of spring — its freshness and softness held in every tender leaf.

Leaves Shaped Like a Sparrow’s Tongue

The name “Sae-jyak” comes from the young leaves that resemble a sparrow’s tongue. A soft first impression, followed by a nutty warmth and a quiet, lingering bitterness.

Tea from Korea's Nature

Boseong — Korea’s foremost tea region, where Sae-jyak grows.

Where the sea meets the mountains in southern Korea, new buds awaken each spring. In organic gardens, by the hands of skilled tea makers, each season ttt visits the fields in person — to see the leaves where they grow. A fine tea begins with fine ingredients. Made slowly, with time and care, every tea is then chosen with expert appraisers, following international standards.

Box & Sleeve

One side carries a brewing guide. The other, a sleeve that slides gently into place — like the knot of an apron tied at the back. The design comes from our tea curator’s uniform — a quiet reminder of the careful hands that prepare every cup.
