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 Plantation twice.

We ordered set C with an additional hot latte and were surprised by the flavour and quality of the matcha. •The layered cake was light and fluffy and not too sweet; •The matcha, strawberry cake actually matched really well and it tasted like it was made with fresh ingredients. It also held its shape perfectly when taking off the plastic before eating; •The soft serve is what you can expect from a softserve. Different grades matcha gelato would have been my preference, yet this is more efficient for the company in terms of speed in service; •The tea was delicious and I loved how it came with instructions and a little sand clock to time the steepness; •The Matcha frappe was or regular quality; •The latte was of great quality and I asked it to not be too sweet and they served it perfectly. You could taste the matcha so nicely and the tiniest bit of sweetness added to it. It was however more a matcha cappuccino in terms of 1/3 foam, 2/3 latte instead of an actual latte. The restaurant/cafe has two options to order from and those are: the physical counter or the electronic machines to the left. The shopping area was extremely busy but worked efficiently and fast to help the people. There are plenty of different teas you can buy and in what quantity you want to buy it. They also notify you if you go over a certain amount that you can get a tax refund at the airport, which is very kind of them. They might do good adding someone who cleans the tables since some people leave it quite dirty after using. The toilet lady however worked like an animal to keeo the toilets in good condition. We had a good experience here and if you love tea and matcha, would definitely recommend coming here if you are going to Jeju.

"Visiting the tea museum in Jeju was an absolute delight! From the moment I stepped in, I was transported into the rich history and culture of tea production on the island. The museum's exhibits were beautifully curated, offering a fascinating journey through the evolution of tea cultivation, from ancient traditions to modern innovations.The highlight of my visit was the interactive tea tasting experience. Guided by knowledgeable staff, I had the opportunity to sample a diverse array of teas, each with its own unique flavor profile and aroma. It was a sensory adventure that left me with a newfound appreciation for the complexity and depth of tea.The museum grounds were equally impressive, with lush tea gardens stretching out as far as the eye could see. Strolling through the tranquil pathways, surrounded by verdant tea bushes, was a serene and rejuvenating experience.I also had the chance to participate in a tea ceremony, where I learned about the intricate rituals and etiquette associated with tea preparation and consumption. It was a serene and meditative experience that left me feeling centered and calm.Overall, the tea museum in Jeju exceeded my expectations in every way. Whether you're a tea aficionado or simply curious about the world of tea, this museum is a must-visit destination. It offers a perfect blend of education, exploration, and relaxation, making it an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages."

With the hype surrounding this tea museum, it’s definitely not one to be missed despite the crowd that’s often flooding the space. 🅿️ they do have 2 parking spaces around the museum, with ushers to help guide drivers to a specific area with empty lots The merchandise area was crazy crowded on a weekday around 3-4pm, with multiple tour buses parked on the opposite side of the museum and visitors both local and foreign shopping in the museum. There really wasn’t much that caught our eye though, nothing really stood out in flavour for the drinks to make us want to buy them. 🍰 the pastries however were good, the tart was okay, I didn’t love the ice cream though it’s decent. Loved the cake roll though, thought it’s a good balance between the green tea flavour and the creaminess. The drink too was okay, we had something similar at a cafe earlier so it wasn’t exactly special or unique. The green tea field was a little underwhelming, with what seemed like tall green bushes if one didn’t know it’s a green tea field - especially because it didn’t smell like anything too. All in all, it’s definitely worth a visit for the overall hype - the only place in Jeju that we saw such a crowd during our 3 days visit.

TL:DR if you haven't been to another tea farm/museum in Korea make a trip out. Plan to spend less than 1 hour, unless you are going to eat here. The museum as I saw it was extremely small. You can make your way through it quite quickly. Really there was only a history wall and observatory. The garden outside is very nice, and you are able to walk and take photos in the tea fields. I shopped for souvenirs and food while I was here, and that took a majority of my time. The tea is really high quality and the price reflects it. Also it was neat to see them roasting the tea leaves, similar to coffee. The workers there are excited to tell you about what they do, just be prepared for Korean only explanations. Overall all this was a secondary place for me to visit and only did so because so many other places were closed for renovations or COVID-19 restrictions. Being that it is free, it's worth it, but I wish that I was able to see one of the closed places with my time on Jeju. Just going to have to come back.

Beautiful place to walk around. Do visit the tea shop and buy something if you enjoy drinking tea. The popular skin care company Innisfree has a retail store and cafe here too. Many people will try their hand at making soap in the retail store, pretty decent variety of skin care products but it's catered mainly for ladies. The staffs at the store is knowledgeable and helpful. Prices at the cafe is slightly higher but the atmosphere here is very nice and you get to enjoy a beautiful view of the tea plantation outside the cafe due to its elevated height and full drop down glass panel of the building. It's a great place to have a coffee and some pastries for an hour or so. Another thing which many might think it is strange to add it here, the public toilet located behind the store and cafe is very clean and it smells wonderful 😊. They used the same diffuser that they are selling in the retail store! Absolutely no funny or unpleasant smell coming from this public toilet👍👍👍
