Osulloc Tea House Bukchon

Jeju tea brand Osulloc runs this three-floor tea house in a 1960s Western-style house on Bukchon-ro, with a garden and terrace looking north over hanok rooftops. The ground floor is a tea shop where you can buy loose leaf by weight and try blends from the tea master. Upstairs, the lounge serves pure teas brewed with Jeju volcanic bedrock water in Osulloc's own teaware, plus Bukchon-only desserts such as the roof-tile set. The third floor holds Bar Sulloc, an inlaid mother-of-pearl bar pouring non-alcoholic tea cocktails like the Volcanic Hallatini, and a private tea room for brewing classes. A seasonal tea course pairs tea, chocolate and small plates through the year. Matcha drinks, the Hallasan matcha bingsu and green tea ice cream are the easy picks if you just want a break. The best photos come from the terrace and the third-floor windows, where tiled roofs stretch toward the hills behind Bukchon.
