EPISODE 6: MMMM, TEA: O'Sulloc Team Museum

Hannah and I went with our friends Brian, Madi, and their son Torin to OSULLOC Tea Museum, just a few miles away from our house. The name is a bit of a misnomer - the "museum" takes about five minutes to go through at a snail's pace, and seems to be a shameless excuse to usher you into their huge gift shop and cafes. But ohhhhh, is it worth it.  The tea is good, the grounds are quite pretty, and the food is delicious.

Tea fields: sorta just bushes. Who knew?

WOW, look at that chimney. This is on the building where they hold traditional tea ceremonies (in Korean). We're hoping for an English demo sometime for us 'wae-guk' (foreigners).

I mean, really, who makes a slate chimney?

How long did this take to make?...My mind is blown.

More Jeju rock stacking

These science experiment things are fake, meaningless decoration. And I love it.

Like I said, awesome food and drink. The specialty here seems to be lemonades mixed with... anything, hence the colorful concoctions you see in the picture.

Also super cute - the flag telling you that this is at Innisfree Cafe at Osulloc!

Hannah and Madi eating a Korean summer favorite called bingsoo, which is basically just shaved ice with your choice of syrup, fruit, and goodness knows what else in huge portions.. This one is Jeju orange-flavored ( and the oranges here really do have a distinct taste)!

Brian lusting after some bingsoo... and you can't blame him; it is delicious (or, as you'd say in Korean, mashisseoyo!).
