Korea has become a global cultural superpower thanks to the rise of the Hallyu wave (the Korean wave). People the world over have become curious about Korea's music, fashion, food, and more. One of the biggest draw factors to Korea is tourism and travel. Many have come to the country to discover its traditional/modern fusion charm, experience tourist attractions, and try some of its iconic foods/beverages. An interesting aspect of Korea's traditional food culture is Korean tea culture.
Besides the traditional tea culture, you might even have heard of phrases like 'idol drink' or 'idol water' which is a special drink that idols drink to avoid bloating. This drink is also made with Korean tea - green tea to be specific. This goes to show how integrated Korean tea culture is in the everyday life of citizens, too.
Korea has a huge array of teas to choose from that all boast different tastes and health benefits. In fact, some of Korea's hottest tourist attractions are tea fields.
Some of the iconic Korean tea fields include the Hadong tea plantation, the Boseong tea plantation, and the Jeju tea gardens.
