Authentic Yuzu tea from Jeju Island, South Korea. The real deal.
 
Hand-picked and carefully graded, this is one of the world's most sought-after culinary ingredients - authentic Korean Yuzu from Jeju Island. A natural, organic citrus infusion made from 100% dried Yuzu peel, with no flavorings, no additives, and no need for sweeteners. Unlike most citrus infusions, Yuzu tea is made exclusively from the peel, giving it an aroma unlike lemon, orange, or mandarin. The thick peel produces a rich infusion with a remarkable balance of sweetness, acidity, and gentle spiciness.
 
Harvest takes place only once a year, between November and February, in orchards growing at elevations of 200-600 meters near the coast of Jeju Island. Similar to our Buckwheat Tea, we work with a small producer competing among only a handful of authentic Yuzu growers, who prefers not to disclose details of the production process, including drying temperature, humidity, and drying time. We respect that choice. In the end, the process matters, but the real test is the final result.
 
Yuzu originated during the Tang Dynasty in Hubei Province, central China. Around 1,300 years ago, it made its way to Korea, where it became an important part of the country's culinary culture. It is a natural hybrid between sour mandarin and Ichang Papeda, an ancient Chinese citrus variety. Today, Yuzu is one of the signature citrus fruits of Korean and Japanese cuisine, widely used by chefs in fine dining, desserts, cocktails, and professional kitchens around the world.
 
Yuzu tea is a natural source of vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. It is particularly rich in vitamin C and flavonoids, and is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Naturally caffeine-free, it can be enjoyed throughout the day, especially in the evening. After brewing, the softened Yuzu peel is commonly eaten or added to desserts, pastries, and other dishes, so nothing goes to waste. The tea is packed in an eco-friendly biodegradable pouch made from recycled milk cartons and manufactured in South Korea.
 
Who is Yuzu tea for? Anyone looking for a naturally caffeine-free evening infusion, citrus lovers, and anyone who enjoys discovering unique culinary ingredients.
