O'Sulloc Tea Museum (Seogwipo, SOUTH KOREA) ★★★★☆

One of our main focus on our last day in Jeju Island was a visit to the famous O'Sulloc Tea Museum in Seogwipo. It's a short stroll from our hotel (Marriott) and as planned, we managed to get there well before noon hour.


We were first off to explore their green tea fields next to the parking lot. Needless to say, everyone got all excited about taking a few selfies here and had them uploaded to Instagram almost instantly. 



Next up, we went across the street to check out the museum building.



There's a really nice view point area on the second floor of the building overlooking the nearby area and tea plantation.



After the quick tour of the museum, it's time to indulge ourselves in what O'Sulloc is most famous for - their green tea desserts.


Everyone including little nugget got into the act.



Tea Set A (17,300 won) - This came with one of their signature drinks (such as green tea latte), a green tea ice-cream and green tea roll cake, all of which are actually available in all of their outlets in Seoul.



The Japanese style roll cake was super soft and fluffy.



Surprisingly, the cream filling wasn't green tea flavored.


Halla Mountain green tea cake (7,000 won) - A Jeju exclusive which wasn't available anywhere in Seoul. The layered cake was composed of green tea sponge, green tea mousse, whipped cream and red bean paste. It was more of an Instagrammable cake than anything to be brutally honest.


Jeju green tea with milk (6,500 won) - What I enjoyed most about this sweet feast was their Jeju green tea with milk. The mouth feel was a lot like a green tea latte but in my opinion, a little more velvety thanks to the proportion of milk in there. Highly recommended for those of you who's really into green tea beverages!


After spending more than an hour here, it was time to hit the road again. My little nugget would love this next destination, Jeju Dinosaur Land.
