Clean Jeju Green Tea Cooperative ‘Sumang’ To Launch New Hojicha Product This August

JEJU, South Korea, Aug 18 (Bernama) -- Clean Jeju Green Tea Agricultural Cooperative ‘Sumang’ has announced that it plans to launch a new product—Hojicha—in August. Hojicha is a roasted green tea made by pan-firing tea leaves at high temperatures, known for its rich, nutty aroma and low caffeine content.

Sumang is a vertically integrated producer that grows, processes, and sells organic green tea in Jeju Island. Benefiting from ideal tea-growing conditions—including proximity to the sea, warm temperatures, and frequent mist—the cooperative has been able to cultivate high-quality tea with a consistent moisture supply during the growth period.
