Boseong is one of Korea’s biggest green tea producing areas. Its best-known plantation, Daehan Dawon, covers whole hillsides with neat terraces of tea bushes — the classic image of Boseong.
When to go
From spring, when the new leaves appear, into early summer the fields are at their brightest green. On misty early mornings they look almost unreal.
Walking the fields
Enter through a path lined with tall cedar trees, then follow the trails between the tea rows up to a viewpoint at the top. Afterwards, a cup of local green tea or a green tea ice cream is a must.
