Nestled in Jeju, Osulloc Tea Museum offers a delightful experience for tea enthusiasts. The museum showcases the cultural significance of tea in Korea and other regions, featuring various types of tea and green tea-infused dishes. Visitors can explore exhibits on green tea, take in panoramic countryside views from an observatory, and browse through a popular gift shop and cafe. While the museum itself is relatively small, it provides easy access to nearby attractions like Innisfree and delectable dining options.
Quick a cute spot but strongly encourage to go early as possible, like most good things.. it can get busy ! The green tea, ice cream, views, and going to innnifree side was very cute. Lots of good pics, drinks, and views. Go early! With enjoying the view, snacks and drinks, can spend 1+ hours here ! If you rush it.. can be done in like 20 mins.

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👍👍👍

A pretty place to visit. Even it's summer, the wind is so strong to make you shivered. The tea garden is so big and nice. Good place for you to relax. However it is quite far from city point. Need to change bus in between if you do not have car, need to take public transport.

Nice caffee.. they sell so many things for gift.. all about tea.. cake, snack, drinks and many.. they close at 18.00.. the price a bit pricy.. 16.200 won for tea bags.. they will kick you out if you there when they close.. so better come before that..

The Tea Museum really interesting for us. However I can't compare as per every place has different ingredients.Drink ans dessert: Really matched with all price that provides.The landscape: Good to walk around during afternoon.Facility: Really good to the top bar there to seeing surrounding 360C degrees there.

Free admission so super busy. Not much to see in the museum but worth to try something like icecream or drinks while you’re there.I saw there’s another building back there for tea class or something. I’d like to book it in advance if I come back here again. It would be amazing experience.Great to see Innisfree (Korean cosmetic brand) shop there as well. Decent price and I’ve been using their products 10+ years so highly recommend it. There are some limited products you can only buy in there.

Unfortunately, there was no guided tour available when I visited, so I just went around by myself. The museum wasn't much without a guide.It was more about the cafe and gift shop for me -- and they were good. I got a very tasty green tea latte while admiring their gardens. I also got to shop for a few tea sets for me and my family. Having tried the tea myself now back home, they're very high quality. I highly recommend coming here if you're a tourist, the tea is very good souvenir.The public transportation going there was also convenient coming from Seogwipo. The bus station is right outside the museum.

Beautiful place to come and chill after a long drive from airport (1h+).Had the tea and ice cream cake. These are probably marked up for tourists prices...I bought a few tea bags and biscuits and it very quickly added up to almost 100,000 krw. 🙈 hence the four stars for being ridiculously overpricedStaff speak English 👍

I really enjoyed visiting this museum. I am an avid tea drinker and this was the first time I had ever been to a tea field. The gift shop was great - I bought a lot of teas. The café on site was also wonderful - the food and drinks were delicious! The museum is free to get in, which was very nice. This is a relaxing spot to spend a couple of hours.

The tea was praised for its excellence. I ordered a cup of macha, a crepe, and a roll—all delightful, though the crepe was a tad dry. Discovering that dining outside offered a quieter atmosphere, I strolled over to the tea plantation, enjoying the picturesque view.

Even on a weekday, the place is pretty packed with tourists and koreans. If you are a tea lover this is def a must-visit. Lots of tea infused snacks and tea for sale, they also have a cafe which we tried, Green Tea and Hallabong Ice Cream with Baumkuchen. No place to sit so we ate outside. It was very cold and windy so be careful or you might fly away 😄

Really fun place to visit which has a lot of products and of course a place to buy tea and tea products. There are several areas such as the cafe and then the buildings closer to the tea plantation which is where you can buy cosmetics and other tea leaf products.

The place is huge. Although so many visitors, you can still enjoy being inside.It has a very nice modern interior design.They have cafe which provide many desserts selections with various green tea desserts. Based on what i tried, i would recommend to try their tangerine tea and green tea ice cream.You can also take photos at the opposite tea garden, just across the street.

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.

Really nice experience to get a closer look of the process and types of tea. I took the guided tea tour through the plantations with a tasting session of varios teas and deserts. At the end of the tour, I made my own tea by choosing different leaves based on their flavors and properties. The caffee and shopping area are also nice. Plenty opportunities for good pictures. Highly recommended!

The desserts are recommended - you can get a set with orange cake, peanut ice cream / milkshake, and matcha soft serve. There is a field across the road near the parking area that is a great little photo spot too. You can spend an hour or two there at the most.

This place is more like a Cafe with small section of store and displays. The food is a bit expensive, and some very delicious, so it's recommended. They have some demonstration or courses about tea. And there is Inisfree shop that sells cosmetics related to tea. There is a large parking spaces, and it is easier to go by car than by any other means of transport. Not easy to find taxi, better have Kakao Taxi app to hail a cab, otherwise you may be stranded. There is also a garden or farm area where you can take pictures.

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 lotsThe 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.

This is a beautiful conservatory of sorts and has an amazing selection of teas you can buy as souvenirs! The cafe was also really nice and you get to try their tea selection before you decide to buy the tea bags themselves. We went up to the second floor and you get a beautiful view of the mountains and the tea. There’s not much of a museum aspect to it but its a very nice place to go visit regardless!

Thoughtfully designed building and space! It’s not so much a museum but a place to buy tea and enjoy the view of the tea plantations at the cafe. Innisfree is next to the Osulloc museum and they also have a cafe with a gorgeous view there. You only need about 15-20 minutes to walk around the museum

Free museum that focuses on how tea is cherished and how it grows. There are samples to try and varieties you can buy. There are tea drinks you can enjoy there and desserts. Outside are scenic plots of tea fields, great for pictures. A must see when going to Jeju Island.

Not sure if I'd call this a museum. It's a really nice cafe with a shop inside it and fields surrounding it. Nevertheless, going and trying some of their tea desserts, coupled with the aesthetics of the environment was a fun and worthwhile experience. We also got some really well decorated souvenirs.

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.

Nice play to eat ice cream and beverages made of the tea herbs! All taste it very good, some of the few places that seem authentic “matcha” ice cream. 😋😋😋They also sell in a different building some beauty products from the famous local cosmetic brand, good prices and some discounts and exclusive only products.You can also see all the green tea plantations

This was a nice visit when we vacationed in Jeju Island. When you go inside, on the left an employee is giving the history of tea making and giving out samples. There were so many wonderful teas and other items I wanted to buy but was limited to the luggage space and weight allowance. They also have a cafe that sells green tea ice cream, green tea and hallabong (Jeju tangerine) log cakes and other green tea and hallabong inspired items. The green tea ice cream is a lot more intense than others I have tasted. Service was nice and friendly. Bus stops are within walking distance and they also have lots of parking.

Osulloc Tea Museum isn't just a museum in Jeju, it's an experience. Think of it as the "pizza in Naples" of Jeju - you can't go and miss it! The architecture itself is stunning, and the surrounding gardens are beautiful enough to be worth the trip alone.But the real star here is the tea. The tea tasting is a fantastic way to explore different varieties, and the cafe offers a wide selection of delicious treats. Here's a tip for matcha fans: don't miss the two best-sellers - the ice cream and the cheesecake - they're pure heaven!Another secret tip: look for a small door with stairs near the men's room. It leads to a hidden terrace with a breathtaking panoramic view of the entire estate. The perfect spot to soak up the scenery after a delightful tea experience.

We visited this place as part of the day tour itinerary from the Klook tour.When entering the place, one will be given a small cup of tea to taste. After that you could shop for tea and items made from green tea. There is a cafe for drinks and green tea food stuff. There is a short path leading to Innisfree shop, and there are plants and flowers along the way. I was hoping to see a tea leaves plantation but there isn't. If you are not a green tea lover or an Innisfree shopper, then you can skip this place.

It’s misleadingly named because it’s actually a store and cafe set in a beautifully landscaped and meditative site. There was a wide variety of teas and tea products to purchase, and you can taste teas either at the front, where they have roasting and bagging facilities on display, or from the cafe, which has many desserts on offer. We only got the mountain cake, which was a lovely blend of tea, cream and something red and earthy; we were tempted to try other things but unfortunately we came after a heavy lunch. I did find space for their matcha ganache sand cookies, which were amazing. I couldn’t believe how many free samples they were giving out and I overindulged. Make sure not to leave without exploring the grounds, which has a tea plantation and a tranquil atmosphere. There’s also a quiet observation deck on the second floor which you can access via the elevators near the entrance to catch a beautiful view of nearby mountains.

If you're a tea lover, this experience will be awesome. I did find the place a bit busy on a Friday afternoon, maybe too busy and full of tourist. The tea wasn't mind blowingly good, but was refreshing to a taste and have a sample. The place seems small for the size of people it can handle and the outside has its tea bushes you can see for miles. The cafe was packed with people and was hard to even grab a table or seat.The staff was super friendly and helpful.

"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."

I find it quite funny. It's called a tea museum, and I thought it would display all knowledge related to tea, but it turned out to be just a place to buy souvenirs. There's a tea garden and a coffee shop nearby where you can take a break. It's very crowded, and I've heard the tea sauce is a must-buy, and the toast with spread is delicious.The parking lot is very large with plenty of parking spaces, so you don't need to worry about finding a spot.

Not an actual museum...... Gallery and museum get used often in Korea, but they are typically just a cafe. Good experience if in the area. There is a dessert building (main) and then beauty product shop and hot/savory food building. Wall with history is interesting. Jeju matcha is popular all over korea

I was suffocated by lots of people… there is very tiny “museum” part. Other than that, it’s basically a teashop/Korean beautishop/cafe which you can buy from their other shops in Korea, one of them in Buckchon.The view from their lookout/observatory on 3rd floor was good but I was more amazed to see the influx of people from many buses at gigantic parking spots, bigger than the tea field.

At first will look very touristy place but I thought was surprisingly nice place to visit. Nice massive modern architecture and setup. Good tea and coffee and pastries/cake. Alot of people but plenty place to seat. Long lines but quick enough service and moves along. Alot of nice gifts to buy. Not cheap but quality seems to be there. If you like this sort of thing, recommended.

Perfectly constructed around a tea plantation for maximum tourist spending. It’s basically a cafe built around photo taking and selling merchandise from tea leaves to green tea snacks. Ample parking onsite and in the surrounding areas and there is no entrance fee. The tea was mediocre and the snacks were average.Box ticked..
