Stepping into the teacup building hidden in the greenery is like entering a ceremony away from the hustle and bustle. The architect's simple and ingenious design, light and shadow sprinkled in from large glass and wooden platforms, makes the air seem to be entangled with the fragrance of tea. With every step, you can feel the most natural tranquility and relaxation. I love to sit quietly on the wooden terrace, looking at the endless tea plantations and hills in the distance. At that moment, time seems to stop. The historical information displayed in the museum is simple and complex, from tea sets, tea culture to tea baking, every corner reveals intellectual beauty. If you go deeper and participate in Tea Stone's tea art course, you will be moved by the concentration and ritual sense of the tea kneading master in every step. The most irresistible thing is the green tea dessert: the combination of the bowl of matcha ice cream and O'Fredo is both refreshing and sweet, with a light aftertaste of Jeju's high-altitude tea, without a trace of greasiness. On a hot or humid afternoon, such a cup of matcha is enough to cool the body and mind. Other snacks and biscuits can also feel the care of the ingredients and production. As for Innisfree's affiliated exhibition hall and souvenir area, it is a must-visit for literary youths. The green tea facial cleansers and masks there are often sold out, and people can be seen everywhere exclaiming "sold out again". The giant teacup-shaped installation and the tea field trail are very suitable for taking photos and checking in. Visiting in the early morning or at dusk, you can take pictures of the beautiful combination of light and shadow and the tea garden. It is worth mentioning that although it is a popular attraction, the space is spacious and the traffic flow is well designed, so it does not feel crowded even if there are many people. Weekend mornings or non-holiday evenings are the best time to visit, and you can enjoy a more comfortable visit experience. Whether it is a tour group, a family, or a person who comes to relax, you can find your own rhythm here. To sum it up in one sentence: The Green Tea Museum not only teaches you to drink tea, but also allows you to experience "seeing a tea garden with your heart". It is like a cup of tea that is just right, not strong or light, but it is memorable. When I left, I took away a few bags of tea and a can of tea soap, but I couldn't take away the endless green and afternoon light and shadow in my heart. I think that next time I visit Jeju, I will definitely come back here and talk to tea again with another taste. Finally, if you want to find a place in Jeju that combines culture, tranquility, desserts and healing, the Green Tea Museum is definitely worth reserving half a day. Slow down, drink a cup of tea, and let your mind breathe freely in the greenery. #OsullocTeaMuseum #innisfreejeju #osulloc #osullocteamuseum #Seogwipo #Jeju #JejuOsullocTea
