The tea house offers an authentic Korean tea experience with traditional beverages including jujube tea, pine needle tea, lemon ginger tea, omija tea, and chrysanthemum goji berry tea. During summer, their signature sweet pumpkin bingsu (shaved ice) is a must-try. The beautiful hanok architecture and tranquil garden create a meditative atmosphere perfect for reflection.
