Jukrocha(竹露茶) is the tea made with the tea plant grown in bamboo grove. Bamboo and tea plant are characterized by common growth conditions as follows: tea plant’s growth conditions are 13~16℃ for annual mean temperature and 1,300mm or higher for rainfall amount, and bamboo is also 12℃ or higher for annual mean temperature, 6℃ or higher below zero for mean minimum temperature of January, and 1200mm or higher for mean annual precipitation. Jakseol cha, Korea’s representative tea originated from China, but Jukrocha is Korea’s unique tea as it is neither in China nor in Japan. Jukrocha originates from the sun-blocking environment, which means half shade and half sun and the ecological environment adapted to the symbiosis with the bamboo keeping off the frost and cold, despite various bad conditions which is an obstacle to the growth of tea plant in the northern boundary line. It has been recorded that tea seeds are collected or tea leaves are picked in bamboo grove at the initial temples during the Joseon Dynasty. Of course, tea leaves might have been picked previously in the bamboo grove, but this Jukrocha began to appear in the literature including the records of Dasan Jong Yahg-yong(丁若鏞) and Seon Master Choui(草衣禪師) from the early 19th century. Since then, it had spread to Gangjin, Jangheung, Jangseong, Gokseong, Gurye, Hadong, Ulsan, Gimhae, etc and became one of Korea’s representative teas. Jukrocha varies from a combination of leaf tea, which is steamed and dried and tteok cha to the tea estimated as leaf tea (bucho green tea), which is roasted in sot (or Korean traditional caldron made of cast iron) and fermented tea. It is thought that various cultural content elements of Jukrocha are the potential resources for our tea industry that is developing toward the sixth industry.
