Friday Cocktails: Su Jung Kwa | SAVEUR

I've been dying to eat at Hooni Kim’s Michelin star-rated Korean restaurant since I first heard the hype—I grew up eating traditional Korean food, so I could not wait to try the dishes from one of the first Korean restaurants to garner such acclaim.

That’s not to say that I did not enjoy the food (it was fantastic), but when I saw that the menu listed a cocktail made with su jung kwa—a traditional Korean tea made from cinnamon, dried jujube fruits, and ginger—paired with rye whiskey, I knew before it had even touched my lips that I had just discovered my new favorite cocktail.

I thought it was 옥로 green tea. Looks different from powdered green tea. Just my opinion.

It's 말차 - the froth on the bubbles and the spots on the ceramic are approximately the same size, creating the effect of transparency.  푸른꽃 serves domestic organic 우전 and 세작 차 (green tea made from the first and second buddings of the tea bush, respectively), and black tea from China.
