Korean Green Tea Tour in Boseong & Gangjin (Private)

Boseong is popular for its perfect climate and soil for growing tea trees, which gives it a unique taste and aroma. Among its many tea farms, Daehan Dawon stands out as an iconic destination with its expansive fields of green tea bushes and stunning views of the rolling hills.
Visitors can enjoy a leisurely stroll along the scenic paths leading to the top observatory, where the views of the sea and refreshing green hills are truly invigorating. To top off the visit, there's the delightful opportunity to taste green tea ice cream. The vibrant landscape makes it a year-round destination.

From this tea farm observatory, we can enjoy beautiful view with a lake and green tea plantation. We will stop here for a peaceful rest and nice photos.

Lunch time!
There are two choices for lunch.
The first main dish is the grilled pork patties with green tea powder, which is the local specialty in Boseong. The second main dish is the steamed rice wrapped in a lotus leaf, and it is good for vegetarians.

Korea tea museum was established to introduce the Korean tea culture and history in 2010. Visitors can view the whole process from cultivation to production of tea with graphic panels, images, and dioramas. There is a tea experience room, so we will learn how to prepare and drink tea in Korea through educational and hands-on experience.

Gangjin Tea Plantation is located at the foot of Mt. Wolchulsan and has been cultivated for green tea production since 1980 by 'Amorepacific (Osulloc)', a leading tea producer in Korea. But the history of tea culture in Gangjin is over 1,000 years as tea trees have been cultivated in many Buddhist temples around the mountain since Goryeo Dynasty. The tea produced in Gangjin has a strong scent and rarely tastes bitter. With rocks standing above Mt. Wolchulsan, Gangjin Tea Plantation creates a grand spectacle.

Baeg-un-dong Garden was established by Lee Damro (1627–1701), who carved 'Baeg-un-dong' into the rock next to the valley. This garden served as a cultural meeting place where scholars exchanged ideas and enjoyed the arts. It is also significant as a cradle of Korean tea culture. The hermitage harmoniously blends natural elements with human-made features in an ornate composition while preserving the original character of the forest.

Baeg-un Tea House was established to honor the achievements of Lee Han-young, who created Korea’s first tea brand, Baegun Okpan Tea, in the 1920s. The tea culture history in this area, however, dates back to the 1800s. Jeong Yak-yong, one of the greatest scholars of the Joseon Dynasty, was known for his love of tea during his exile in Gangjin. The methods he used to make and enjoy tea have been passed down through one of his disciples, and Baeg-un Tea House continues this historical tradition. Visitors can taste the rice cake tea that Jeong Yak-yong cherished.
