If you are looking for Tea in Seoul, you should go for the best in
town.
Osulloc Tea is the most famous tea brand from South Korea. It is a traditional
Korean tea manufacturer with plantations on Jeju Island. It’s famous for its
premium green tea leaves, and the tea houses are usually set in an urban
environment.

Osulloc Tea House in Bukchon is a three-storey detached house that is modern
and minimalist in outlook. It stands out amidst the traditional hanok houses
found preserved in Bukchon. Nestled steps away from the famed Bukchon Hanok
Village, Osulloc Tea House is a good place to stop and sip while exploring the
ancient village.

Green Tea O Fredo & Samdayeon Jeju Tangerine
|
| Osulloc Green Tea |
The Green Tea O Fredo is Osulloc’s iconic sweet greet tea shake topped with
green tea ice cream. It’s sweet but full of flavour. The Green Tea flavour is
distinguishable with every bite.
|
| Osulloc Samdayeon Jeju Tangerine |
The Samdayeon Jeju Tangerine is a post-fermented tea with a refreshing Jeje
cedar tangerine flavour. It’s refreshing with a taste that is unique to
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.
Tea Food
|
| 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.

| Bukchon Hanok Village |
This hidden gem is worth visiting, especially if you are exploring
Bukchon Hanok Village for the ambience and the tea. Add this teahouse to the
list of places to visit when you are in Bukchon!
