The Samdayeon Jeju Tangerine is a post-fermented tea with a refreshing Jeje

Osulloc Tea House. The tea also comes with an hourglass that will help you
time the right time for the perfect cup of tea. It was so good that wedecided
to get a few packets from the shop.

Osulloc Green Tea Roll Cake and Green Tea cheesecake |
While we did not order any tea food, the green tea roll cake and the classic
green tea cheesecake look great. You can also opt for Bukchon Signature, such
as the Rice Dessert and dipping sauce, to complete your meal.

Verdict
If you google Osulloc Tea House Seoul, another outlet – Osulloc Tea House MMCA
near Gyeongbokgung Palace will pop up. Osulloc Tea House at Bukchon has fewer reviews and seems to be underrated. Located away from the main road and behind a Hanok, it could easily be missed.
