Daehan Tea Garden produces high-quality organic green tea with a taste and aroma similar to wild tea. The tea fields form a spectacular sight, like a green carpet, attracting tourists throughout all seasons. Passing through the picturesque tea fields and climbing to a 350m peak, visitors can enjoy a magnificent view stretching out to the sea. Located on the mountain foothills overlooking Boseong-eup Bongsan-ri, the garden spans an expansive plain of about 300,000 pyeong. At the entrance to the garden, large cedar trees as tall as utility poles provide a refreshing atmosphere. Daehan Tea Garden supplies a Korean tea named 'Bongro (峯露)' to tea specialty chains nationwide. Recently, with the rising popularity of Korean tea, more people are visiting the garden. Visitors enjoy healthy vacations by breathing fresh air in the tea fields and picking tea leaves themselves. It has also served as a filming location for dramas such as 'Summer Scent,' 'Legend of the Blue Sea,' and 'Rebel,' allowing visitors to fully appreciate the beauty of nature.
