This tour starts from Gwangju Metropolitan City. For tea-lovers and nature-lovers, this tour will be very enjoyable. We will visit two major tea plantations in Boseong and Gangjin. While Boseong is well-known for its green tea plantation and attracts many tourists every year, Gangjin tends to be off the beaten path for most foreign travellers. However, Gangjin has over 1,000-year history as a tea cultivated area, and it is the place where the first Korean tea brand was created. In Boseong, we will visit Korea Tea Museum and Daehan Dawon which is the most popular tea farm in Korea. Here, we will experience Korean tea ceremony with green tea tasting and enjoy green tea Ice-cream. In Gangjin, we will visit Gangjin Dawon Tea plantation with the stunning background of Mt. Wolchulsan, and a private garden of Joseon Dynasty. We will also visit Baeg-un Tea House and taste its long-time tradition tea. Don’t miss the nice local lunch too!

Boseong is popular for its perfect climate and soil for growing tea trees, which gives it a unique taste and aroma. Among its many tea farms, Daehan Dawon stands out as an iconic destination with its expansive fields of green tea bushes and stunning views of the rolling hills.

To top off the visit, there's the delightful opportunity to taste green tea ice cream. The vibrant landscape makes it a year-round destination.
From this tea farm observatory, we can enjoy beautiful view with a lake and green tea plantation. We will stop here for a peaceful rest and nice photos.
