Doncha (), or don tea, also called jeoncha (), is a coin-shaped post-fermented tea produced in Korea. The tea has been called cheongtae-jeon () in the Jangheung region in South Jeolla Province.
== History == The history of doncha dates back to the era of Later Silla, when Borimsa (Borim temple) was founded. The Jangheung region in South Jeolla Province, where the temple is located, was the hub of Korean tea culture during the Goryeo and Joseon dynasties. 13 out of 19 daso (tea place) in Goryeo were located in the region.
