 About The Art of Korea
 |  | Green Teas      Korean green tea can be roughly classified 
into three categories based primarily on the time the tea leaves were picked. 
The fist category is called U-jeon (우전) and consists of the first tea leaf buds 
that appear around  April 21. Of course the time varies slightly each year, 
but these first buds of the leaves are picked before they become too large and 
are used to make tea with the most delicate flavor and fragrance. The second 
classification is called Se-jak (세작) and are the slightly larger leaves that 
appear about 14 days after the first harvest. The third picking, Jung-jak (중작) 
are picked about 14 days after the second and all consecutive pickings for the 
rest of the year are classified as Dae-jak (대작). These last pickings are what is 
used to make most of green tea supplied in tea bags. It consists of pieces of 
larger tea leaves and has a stronger, somewhat harsher flavor than the first 
three pickings. Read more about
