Unlike China and Japan, which are well known for their teas, Korea has yet to be discovered on a global scale but produces what are arguably the best teas in the world. The most famous tea (cha) in Korea is probably nok cha, or green tea. It's considered extremely healthy and has been linked to a variety of health benefits. If you like sweet teas try, mae-shil cha or ggool tae-chu cha. Check out omi-ja cha and you-ja cha for something a little more tart.
