Stepping into the Osulloc Tea Store in Jeju was like walking into a dream, a true sanctuary for the senses. From the moment I arrived, I felt a calm wash over me that I honestly hadn't anticipated. It wasn't just a shop; it was an experience, a journey into the very heart of Jeju's tea culture.
The first thing that struck me was the sheer beauty of the place. The architecture is stunning, blending so seamlessly with the surrounding green tea fields that it feels like an extension of nature itself. I spent a good while just gazing out at the endless rows of vibrant green, taking deep breaths of the fresh, clean air. It was incredibly therapeutic, a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
And then, of course, there was the tea. Oh, the tea! I'm not a connoisseur by any stretch, but the friendly staff made me feel completely at ease, guiding me through the different varieties with such passion and knowledge. I tried a few, and each sip was a revelation – so fresh, so nuanced, unlike anything I'd tasted before. I ended up buying a selection to bring home, knowing I'd be able to relive a little piece of that Jeju magic with every cup.
But beyond the beautiful setting and the delicious tea, what truly made this a 5/5 experience for me was the feeling it evoked. It was a moment of pure, unadulterated peace. I felt a deep connection to the island, to the tradition, and to the simple joy of a perfectly brewed cup of tea. It's rare to find a place that can touch your soul like that, and Osulloc absolutely did.

There's a restaurant where you can order and eat-in while enjoying the outside view, which is beautifully kept. It is usually very busy. Luckily there is another building which houses more seating.
And after eating you can buy tea and snacks at the shop to bring home and enjoy the aftertaste of Osulloc!

Read moreThis is the review for only the cafè part. I had a matcha cheese cake, a strawberry matcha cake and a chocolate matcha latte. None of them was barely impressing, and I would never order them again. I was surprised, since theirfree tamarind tea samples are actually really good, but they fail on the matcha side. The place is also extremely noisy and you struggle to find a spot to seat...
