Korean Matcha Tea, Beyond the Expected
When people think of matcha, Japan often comes to mind first. But Korea has its own deep green tea tradition—and some of the finest organic matcha tea is grown in the mistyfields of Boseong.
It is a finely stone-ground Korean green tea powder, prized for its smooth flavor and quiet depth.
This is matcha at its best: clean, vibrant, and beautifully balanced. A cup that feels less like a trend and more like a daily wellness ritual—especially in the colder months, when we naturally reach for something warm and grounding.
For Kim’C Market, matcha is more than a flavor. It’s part of a slower, more intentional way of living.
Boseong & Bohyang Dawon: The Roots of Korean Green Tea
Boseong lies along Korea’s southern coast, where rolling tea fields stretch across green hills, often wrapped in morning mist.
This region has long been considered the heart of Korean green tea—and it is also home to Bohyang Dawon, a tea farm with roots going back to 1937.
For five generations, this family has cultivated tea with deep respect for the land and the rhythm of each season. The harvest is careful, the leaves grow slowly, and the result is a softness you can taste.
In a world where so much is produced quickly, matcha like this feels rare—grown patiently, shaped thoughtfully, and carried forward by hands that have done it for decades.
That patience becomes part of the flavor.
Why Stone-Ground Matcha Matters
Premium matcha is defined not only by where it is grown, but by how it is finished.
At Bohyang Dawon, tea leaves are carefully ground using traditional stone mills. This slow method helps preserve matcha’s natural color, aroma, and nutrients.
The result is a green tea powder that feels silky and bright, never bitter or dull.
It tastes pure when whisked simply with water, turns creamy in lattes, and stays beautifully balanced even in baking.
Kim’C Market’s Philosophy: Choosing What Endures
Kim’C Market was built on a simple belief: the most meaningful Korean foods are not the loudest, but the ones made with integrity.
We look for ingredients that carry more than good flavor. We look for foods that hold a sense of place, a standard of care, and a story shaped over time.
Our House Matcha is not just another organic matcha powder. It is a carefully chosen expression of Korean tea heritage—crafted in Boseong, refined through generations, and selected for its softness and clarity.
In every cup, there is something quietly enduring: the mist of Boseong, the patience of a tea farm, and the confidence of tradition.
This is what Kim’C Market exists to share.
A Quiet Winter Gift, A Daily Cup of Green
Matcha is often described as energizing, but the best matcha does not feel sharp.
It offers a steady kind of focus. A gentle lift. A ritual that brings you back to yourself.
And in winter, that ritual becomes even more meaningful.
When the days are shorter and life feels busy, a warm cup of matcha can be a small moment of stillness—something you return to each morning, or something you share with someone you care about.
That is why Kim’C Market created the Organic Matcha Tea Gift Set—our Boseong-grown organic matcha, paired with the traditional whisk and tools that complete the experience.
It’s a beautiful gift for a friend, a thoughtful gift for your parents, and a quiet winter ritual in one.
Gift it to someone you love, or keep it for your own cup of green.
