It is time for 'new agricultural business' and 'new agricultural expenses' to deliver good examples of making new agricultural technology or healthy food.

Today, it's a simple story of liquid tea.

At the end of lunch time, it's time for office workers to recharge before the afternoon.

Take the drink and go back to the monitor.Drinks in

cups vary according to taste.

[Park Mimi / Office worker: I can't drink coffee at all. My heart is pounding because of the caffeine. I tend to enjoy drinking tea in the middle of work or after meals.]

In line with this consumption trend of looking for tea instead of coffee, some start-ups have entered the tea market.

The company's flagship product is 'tea like coffee'.

Functional black barley, black nuri, and chicory roots developed by the Rural Development Administration are roasted at low temperatures for a long time to approach the taste and aroma of coffee.

[Kwon Ki / Tea maker's CEO: (It smells like coffee, is it the same?) It's best to taste it. You'll know how it feels when you taste it. (It's a bit burnt.)

In addition to baristas, CEO Kwon Ki-han is also making various teas with herbalist and tea sommelier certificates.

After health and environmental concerns surrounding the tea bag began in earnest, the product was changed to liquid tea that was simply mixed with water.

You don't have to wait to pull the car, pour it into water and it's done in 5 seconds.

[Kwon Ki-ki / CEO of tea maker: To relieve the inconvenience of making tea bags, we are focusing on drinking quickly and making liquid tea that is healthy for the body]

[Lee Ho-hyung / Korea Agricultural Technology Promotion Agency Technology Business Headquarters] The Korea Agricultural Technology Promotion Agency plans to actively discover farmers who produce high-value-added products using local specialties and support them to grow to the next level.]

The company improved its sterilization system to increase its shelf life to 20 months, securing the foundation for exports abroad.

In the future, we plan to expand our business to develop functional beauty products using herbal ingredients other than tea.
