Ujeon (Hangul: 우전; Hanja: 雨前), also called cheonmul-cha (Hangul: 첫물차), refers to nokcha (green tea) made of young, tender leaves and buds hand-plucked before gogu ("grain rain", 20–21 April). The delicate tea has sweet, soft, and subtle flavor profile, and is best steeped at a temperature of 50 °C (122 °F).
Korean ujeon is equivalent to Chinese mingqian ("pre-Qingming") and Japanese shincha ("new tea").
