		Green tea from Hadong, south Gyeongsang province, is different in its taste and fragrance from tea grown in other places, as it grows with morning dew in a bamboo forest, with adequate precipitation and sunlight, an official said.
		Hadong is a beautiful town on the southern slope of Mount Jiri National Park surrounded by the Seomjin River.
		As Hadong's natural conditions are suitable for tea plants to grow, they propagated spontaneously and now comprise the biggest wild tea plantation in South Korea, with an area of 578 hectares, accounting for more than one fourth of the country's total tea plantations of about 2,000 hectares.
