Boseong Green Tea Farm, nestled in Jellonam-do Province’s lush hills, stands as a peaceful oasis that offers visitors a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.

The picturesque green tea field, also known as the Daehan Dawon Tea Plantation, has been listed on “31 Beautiful Sights on This Incredible Planet” by CNN. Boseong County, along with Jeju Island, is South Korea’s largest producer of green tea, contributing approximately 40% of the country’s green tea supply.

The therapeutic experience begins with a leisurely stroll, allowing visitors to inhale the refreshing scent of the surrounding greenery. After trekking through the tea fields and cedar forests, they can savor the flavors of sweet and refreshing green tea ice cream.

The trekking trail, which can take over an hour to explore, offers a wealth of photogenic moments. Comfortable shoes are recommended to fully enjoy the experience.

Although the best season to enjoy the greenest views and cool weather is during the month of May, the tea fields maintain their green hue throughout the year.

After green tea field adventure, visitors can stop at the Daehan Dawon Rest Area to purchase a variety of green tea-related snacks, including ice cream, jelly and cookies, as well as high-quality green tea bags. The area also offers the opportunity to participate in brewing and tea-tasting experiences.
