Description

Maehwa Mareum is a 14% ABV traditional Korean drink from Gyeonggi-do, produced by Pear Hyejeong Doga using organic Korean rice and organic brown sugar from the Philippines. The addition of brown sugar distinguishes it from drier, rice-only fermented drinks, giving the palate a rounder, more approachable sweetness. At 375ml, it is a standard-sized bottle. The organic rice provides a clean grain backbone, while the brown sugar contributes caramel-like warmth and body. Additional ingredients include koji, yeast, an acidity regulator, and xanthan gum (contains wheat). The result is a smooth, medium-bodied drink that maintains fermented grain structure while offering gentler sweetness than most dry traditional brews.
