When we decided to boost the teas of Goryeo the “Tea Dynasty” and selected the temple Borimsa to help tell that story, we realized we should return to the teas of Baek Soon Deok whose ddeokcha we offered earlier. Ms Baek’s shop and studio is, like Borimsa, in Jangheung, and Jangheung is the historic home for Korean ddeokcha (aka tteokcha) that was widely used during the Goryeo Dynasty. It has been produced there for the last 1000 years. As for Baek Soon Deok’s ddeokcha, she was the gold medal winner for her ddeokcha at the Boseong World Tea Exposition. You will also enjoy her loose leaf teas.
