The history of South Korean tea
Although South Korea is not among the world’s largest tea producers, tea has held a special place in the hearts of the Korean people since after World War II. It is regarded as a high-quality beverage and a treasured part of the nation’s cultural heritage.
From the serene tea plantations of Jeju Island to the mountainous regions of Boseong, every cup of South Korean tea tells the story of its origin and the people who cultivate it. The diversity of flavors is remarkable – from delicate green teas to more robust and aromatic yellow teas.
Tea culture in South Korea is deeply rooted in the country’s history and society, where it is celebrated both as an art form and as a meditative ritual. Tea has played an essential role in daily life as well as in special ceremonies, where sharing a cup is considered a gesture of hospitality and togetherness.
Traditional tea ceremonies, known as Darye, are carefully structured and highly symbolic, emphasizing respect, purity, and tranquility. Every detail – from the choice of teaware to the way the tea is served – carries a special meaning and reflects a deeper philosophy.
