Osulloc Tea Museum — Attraction in Seogwipo-si

Osulloc Tea Museum is one of the most beautiful modern day tea plantations and history museums that I have had the opportunity to visit. The architecture is stunning, the tea gardens are picturesque and accessible, and the location boasts of a myriad of outdoor and indoor places to experience and indulge in tea and the beautiful landscape and culture that Jeju has.

The layout is beautiful, easy to navigate, and the Osulloc staff are superb.

History Museum: I spent about an hour in the very front when you walk in turn right because they a mini museum that provides a wealth of information in written, visual, and sensory interaction. Loved seeing the evolution of tea production and the connection to tea history globally. Love the test tubes to smell the tea and play with some of the tools used to make tea.

Mini Roast Tea Bar: Love the roasted tea station and the smell of the freshly roasted and packaged tea, smells so good and taste amazing, and they provide samples to taste the roasted flavors.

Gift Store: This area is heavily populated but they have so many great souvenirs and gift options. Highly recommend the multi tea gift sets, roasted green tea, Jeju pure green tea, and matcha biscuits sooooo good.

Cafe: The Cafe overlooking the tea plantation is simply gorgeous with huge glass windows and beautiful terrace for sitting, standing, or taking great photos.

Lets get into the food, A++++ healthy, flavorful, and great addition to my time. I love their tangerine and green tea drinks. I did not get a chance to try to ice cream or cake because I was so full but the line was always packed.

Plantation: Arrive early tends to be less crowded by late morning/early afternoon it is very packed especially with locals, tourists etc which makes it harder to photograph or experience the tranquility of natural elements. Parking seemed to be a bit of a challenge but I had a personal driver so I was able to navigate drop off/pick up easirer

Very family friendly place and typically will see large groups of families, friends, or travel groups

I visited the Museum/Tea...

Kitty and I recently visited the Osulloc Tea Museum on Jeju Island. While neither of us are huge green tea fans, our friends had been raving about it, and it consistently popped up as a must-visit on our Google research, so we decided to give it a try.

We visited on a rainy day, but luckily we had rented a car, allowing us to freely explore our itinerary. The museum is situated within a vast organic tea farm, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape (even though we couldn't enjoy the full beauty of the fields due to the rain).

The museum's modern, brick architecture is both visually striking and welcoming. We were especially drawn to the museum's cafe, which features a stylish modern design with bright lighting and a high, curved ceiling. It was a lively and inviting space. Kitty couldn't resist the temptation of the Jeju Matcha Soft Serve. It had a strong matcha flavour, was creamy and refreshing, and Kitty loved it! We also enjoyed the rich and flavorful Jeju Green Tea Crepe Cake. We originally planned to get a tea set, but since it didn't include the items we wanted, we ended up ordering the Jeju Green Tea Crepe Cake and the Jeju Matcha Soft Serve a la carte.

Beyond the cafe, the museum features a tea gallery, tea culture exhibition hall, and a tea stone space where visitors can learn about tea history, production, and traditional tea ceremonies. We found the museum to be informative and engaging, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Korean tea.

As avid tea plantation enthusiasts, we've visited many tea plantations before, like those in the Cameron Highlands. So, while we couldn't explore the tea fields due to the rain, we were still impressed by the museum's dedication to showcasing Korean tea culture.

Overall, we highly recommend the Osulloc Tea Museum to anyone visiting Jeju Island. Whether you're a tea enthusiast, a culture buff, or simply looking for a beautiful and relaxing place to spend an afternoon, the Osulloc Tea Museum is...

We went on Sunday at around 3pm, and boy was it packed. We couldn't even park at premise, was diverted to secondary carpark then walk over to premise. Inside the Osulloc museum everything had to queue, order tea is one long queue, and buy the tea items another long queue. Although place was huge with many tables, it was packed with persons having their drinks / matcha cake or ice cream. Everyone was packing assorted tea leaves on basket to bring home to their colleagues and love ones. I did not know it was so popular. Was in queue of about 8 persons , crowd moved fast as there were alot of employees behind counter. We tried the drink Camelia flower blooming forest tea and Samdayeon Jeju tangerine tea. However it turns out jeju tangerine tea was more sour after taste (which i thought would be sweet) as compared to Camelia flower which was a bit sweet and nice refreshing taste. The main hall (museum) as mentioned by others is not really musuem but there are counters showcasing the different tea with samples for smelling, a huge portion dedicated to factory tea leaves being bag and where the staff are seen behind glass doing the final QC and packing into boxes. There is also an adjoining building which house the restaurant tea terrace noodle bar serving assorted Osulloc matcha noodle variety. (I did not try though) Customers can also walk outside to rows and rows of tea plantations , and a few were taking pictures, and a group was also using drone to take aerial picture / video. At museum, a lot of persons did not know there is a lift that can access to L2/L3 where you can view the surrounding land and tea leave field. Overall, if you are tea lover, it is definitely a must go, for me i am neutral being a English breakfast tea lover. It is new for me to visit tea place and have other types tea, so i would still recommend to stop by just to see and taste the different cakes. There is no entry ticket...
