Clean Jeju Green Tea Cooperative ‘Sumang' to Launch New Hojicha Product This August
JEJU, South Korea, August 18, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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. Recently, global interest in health and wellness has fueled rising demand for matcha, particularly in the United States. Exports have been steadily rising, and inquiries from international buyers are also growing. While many matcha products are flooding the market, consumers often struggle to find high-quality, properly graded matcha. The cooperative's "Sumang Tea Garden" brand offers matcha in three distinct grades: Ceremonial, Premium, and Superior, giving consumers a variety of options tailored to their taste and intended use. CEO Kyungmin Kang said, "While we currently focus on B2B transactions, our ultimate goal is to expand into direct-to-consumer channels with a comprehensive distribution network," adding, "We are committed to offering high-quality products at affordable prices." About Sumang Since 2007, Sumang has produced Jeju green tea of the highest quality, provided by the natural environment of Jeju Island, South Korea. Abiding by the strict rules of the Clean Jeju Green Tea Agricultural Cooperative, Sumang offers products that promote both health and environmental sustainability.
