Sejak (Korean: 세작; Hanja: 細雀; lit. "thin sparrow"), also called dumul-cha (두물차; lit. "second flush tea"),[1] refers to nokcha (green tea) made of young, tender leaves and buds hand-plucked after gogu ("grain rain", 20–21 April) but before ipha ("advent of summer", 5–6 May).[2][3] Also called jakseol (작설; 雀舌; lit. "sparrow tongue") as the tea leaves are plucked when they are about the size of a sparrow's tongue,[2] sejak is best steeped at a temperature of 60–70 °C (140–158 °F).[4]
