About
Part tea museum, part tearoom, with a courtyard of fermenting jars.
This is a working tearoom built inside a small museum of Korean tea: a hanok with a courtyard, display cases of pottery, and rows of onggi jars where teas are aged. Order at the counter and a pot is brewed properly rather than poured from a dispenser. The green-tea bingsu — shaved ice under matcha powder — is the thing most people come back for in summer.

Local tips
- It's a museum and a tearoom together; the exhibition rooms take ten minutes and are worth doing first.
- Green-tea bingsu (shaved ice) is the summer order; in winter take a brewed pot instead.
- Teas come as a pot to steep yourself over several infusions — don't rush the first cup.
- Open until about 20:00.
