The Boseong Dawon Tea Plantation is on the southwest coast of the Korean Peninsula. The temperate climate of this region is ideal for green tea cultivation. This plantation was established in 1957 with rolling hills reaching heights of 350 meters. Most of the tea is being produced in Boseong, so the area is called the “Home of Tea”.
It is producing 40% of the tea in Korea. The leaves are picked 4-5 times a year. For those visitors hoping to see some of the filming locations of commercials and TV miniseries, it will take approximately one hour. The ideal months to visit are May-August. The green tea fields at Boseong are among the most famous in Korea.
The rolling green fields of Boseong have been used as the backdrop for many movies and TV miniseries in Korea. The endless green vista, tree-lined roads with cedars and nearby Yulpo Seashore provide visitors with great views and plenty to do.
The tea trees blanket
the landscape like a soft green carpet. The seamlessly perfect lines of
20-meter high cedar trees add even more charm to this already romantic setting.
This view can be found at the entrance of the tea plantation and along an
adjacent road to one of the tea fields.
The green tea fields at Boseong are among the most famous in Korea. The tea trees blanket the landscape like a soft green carpet. From mid- April to late May, a soft fog spreads across rolling green fields in the morning hours, creating some of the most picturesque views on the Korean Peninsula.
The seamlessly perfect lines of 20-meter high cedar trees add even more charm to this already romantic setting. This view can be found at the entrance of the tea plantation and along an adjacent road to one of the tea fields. Thought of as one of Korea’s most beautiful tree- lined vistas, it has been used at the backdrop for a mobile phone commercial as well as in the film Gift (선물). This exposure has only added to the Boseong Plantation’s popularity.
We had a wonderful walk along the tree plantation, although it was quite high track. The scenery of the Boseong was simply awesome, we take lots of photos. Especially on the top of observatory we had many group photos which are a source of amusement and memory for all of us. After hiking we enjoyed the ice cream, milk shake and many products made of green tea.
