The Jeju Snow Green Tea Museum, with the theme of green tea, is a good place to learn about Korean traditional tea culture. Not only is it famous for its architectural features composed of teacups, but the traditional and modern cultures of the East and the West have also been harmoniously blended here. The beautiful natural environment makes it an excellent place to rest. It takes about an hour by car from downtown Jeju Island to reach the museum. When you get off the car, you can see a building with a sense of design. O’Sulloc’s snow green tea LOGO is matched with a light brown color system, which feels very fresh. The museum is divided into two floors. The first floor is mainly a cup art gallery, a tea culture exhibition hall, a gift shop and a rest area. Walking into the museum, you will find that the walls are full of paper cups, and each cup is full of creative graffiti. These are the souvenirs left by the children who came to the museum to experience related activities. There is a group of small potted plants in the hall on the first floor. Entering to the left is the Tea Culture Exhibition Hall, where you can learn about the changes and development history of Korean tea culture, the way of tea dissemination, the production process of tea, and the tea culture. There are various types of tea sets from different periods and from different countries. The entire pavilion is not large, in the shape of a round arch. Walking in the corridors paved with log-colored floors seems to have a feeling of traveling through time and space. After visiting the tea culture exhibition hall, there is a gift shop, which sells many green tea derivatives, such as the unique green tea facial cleanser and other skin care products, the price is between 10,000-20,000 won. Of course, green tea gifts include cold-brewed green tea that can be soaked in cold mineral water, green tea milk tea, caramel-flavored flower and fruit tea, and green tea powder that can be brewed directly. The packaging is beautiful, and the price ranges from 5,000 to 10,000 won. After shopping, if you are tired, you can take a seat in the rest area, buy a cup of famous green tea ice cream, or add a piece of green tea cake, the price is 4500 won, find a seat near the pool and sit down and watch the fish in the pool Children play in the lotus and enjoy a leisurely afternoon tea. The second floor of the museum is an open-air platform where various art activities are often held. It is very pleasant to stand on the platform and look at the surrounding scenery. In addition, there is a large green grass in front of the museum. When the weather is good, you can lie on a reclining chair to bask in the sun and look up at the blue sky. There is also an Innisfree store here, which claims to have limited edition green tea cosmetics. You can visit it when you have time. In addition, don't rush to leave after visiting the museum. You can go to the green tea garden opposite to take a look at Lee Min Ho's Innisfree advertisement, which was filmed here. There are two giant green tea cups at the entrance of the tea garden, and many tourists will take pictures here.
situated together with innisfree house, this green tea plantation is a must visit. enjoy a tranquil walk around the plantation with a small museum detailing down its history and transformation to modern day harvesting. also enjoy the awesome pastries and buy lotsa souvenirs and innisfree products.
A more popular attraction in the middle of Jeju Island, there are food and drink, souvenirs, and various products with Yueshi Fengyan. It is quite interesting to walk around, and there is a small tea garden behind you.
We went to the museum because it was pouring and not a day for outdoor activities. So we needed a place to rest and get coffee and dessert. There is a nice cafe and innisfree too. Do check it out!!!
O'sulloc Tea Museum is located at 15, Sinhwayeoksa-ro, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do. You can reach the museum quite easily, especially if you travel by car. There is a vast parking lot directly in front of the museum. There is a cafe located in the museum and it can get pretty busy and crowded. However, it didn't take us long to get a seats as people generally move off after eating. Right next to the cafe is the retail shop where you can get gifts sets and tea bags for yourself or as souvenir gifts for your friends and family. The good thing about here is that Innisfree museum is right next to O'sulloc which is just walking distance away. And as you walk towards innisfree you will spot the tea fields.
Cute props for phototaking and you can take a walk through the tea plantation too. There's also the Innisfree showroom where you can test all the different creams and sprays on yourself. Be prepared for long queues at both the Osulloc and Innisfree shops though, seems like there are lots of locals who visit too, along with the bus loads of tourists.Also, don't go on an empty stomach as the Osulloc cafe only sells matcha desserts, and the ultra-expensive haenyo meal is the only thing on the menu at the Innisfree cafe that is not a dessert item.
