TEAZEN was established in 2001 with a mission of making healthy tea more accessible through modern manufacturing and innovative product development. The company’s philosophy combines traditional tea culture with contemporary wellness trends. [1]

From its early years, TEAZEN invested heavily in research and product innovation rather than acting solely as a tea importer or blender. Over time, it expanded into functional beverages designed for convenience while maintaining tea quality.

A major turning point came with the launch of its powdered kombucha stick, allowing consumers to prepare kombucha instantly by mixing the powder with water. This format became extremely popular in South Korea and later internationally. [1]

TEAZEN’s philosophy centers on three main principles:

• Health through natural ingredients
• Innovation in tea and fermentation
• Convenience for modern lifestyles

The company emphasizes producing beverages that combine traditional tea ingredients with scientifically developed functional formulations. Its products often incorporate fermentation, probiotics, botanical extracts, and plant-based ingredients. [1]

TEAZEN manages much of its production process internally.

Its operations include:

• Own research and development laboratory
• Organic green tea plantation in Haenam, South Korea
• Two manufacturing facilities
• Sourcing more than 300 tea ingredients from Korea and around the world
• End-to-end production from recipe development to manufacturing and sales

The company states that its facilities hold certifications including:

• HACCP
• FSSC 22000
• HALAL

It also notes that it was the first Korean tea manufacturer to adopt steam sterilization and jet milling technologies for tea processing. [1]
