Maesil Ju, also known as green plum wine, is a classic Korean beverage produced from green maesil plums. This traditional liqueur offers a delightful combination of sweetness, tanginess, and a refreshing taste when served over ice during the summer season. You can savor maesil ju as a dessert wine, enjoy it chilled as an aperitif, mix it into cocktails, or pair it with your meal for a delightful experience.
Green plums, known as maesil in Korea, used to make the plum syrup, has many variants; typically they are Cheon-mae, Ok-young, Aeng-suk, Chung-chook and Nam-go. All plums are green in colour, but once there is sunshine, the maesil will turn slightly pinkish and ripen slowly to a yellow ish colour at the end of the season. The maesil you will get will typically be greenish in colour. For Ok-young or Aeng-suk and Nam-go, however, they will be pinkish to reddish sometimes.

- Week 1 (7 Jun) - Cheon-mae (Cheong maesil)
