Jeju is known for its volcanic landscape, green tea fields, citrus cultivation, strong island identity and agricultural traditions shaped by wind and sea.
Terroir
Jeju is a volcanic island with porous soils, abundant rainfall, ocean influence and persistent winds. These conditions create a distinctive growing environment where tea, citrus and other crops are cultivated within an open, highly recognisable island landscape.
