Our Story
120 Years of Brewing Fine Tea
The modern history of Korean artisan tea is rooted in the grounds of Best Plaza Trade Inc and Honam Tea Estate. In the early 1950’s, before the coming of age of green tea in Korea, the first Honam Tea farm was started at the foot of Mudeung Mountain. As green tea gained popularity in Korea, the company expanded the farm to encompass several acres in four locations – Youngam, Jangsung, Haenam and Boseong. Each tea estate was carefully chosen for its ideal climate and geographic location for tea bushes.
Within the idyllic surroundings sprouts the most elegant cup of green tea defined by its incredible combination of lightness and intensity. Grown in nature and free of pesticides, our family run company upholds the strictest standards to take quality to new levels, creating a taste of integrity with each sip
