Kormedi — tea-bag green tea tasted weak: the size was cut (20 Jun 2024; KCA Q1 2024 survey) kormedi.com

From January 2024 each of the 20 bags went from 2 g to 1.5 g, 40 g to 30 g a box (-25%). Osulloc told SBS Biz it acted on complaints the tea was too bitter and now sells it at the same size and price as its other 20-bag premium teas.
