Lonely Planet Experience: Traditional Tea Ceremony with Tea Master

Drinking tea is an essential business in Korea – it’s said to be an act of self-care that restores harmony amid life’s chaos. And there’s no better way to experience it than by stepping away from the buzz of modern Seoul for a peaceful hour at a traditional tea ceremony. This age-old event has been part of Korean culture for hundreds of years, and now you can play your part in this living tradition thanks to this private tour! During this hour-long experience at a traditional tea house, you’ll be accompanied by your expert local host, trained by the Korean Tea Institute. They’ll talk you through the ancient etiquette and happily answer all your questions. This is no ordinary cup of tea, of course – you’ll be treated to the unique tastes and scents of two classic Korean teas. Every Lonely Planet Experience also comes with six months' free access to Lonely Planet's Guides app, which includes over 8,000 destination guides, and unbeatable discounts in the Lonely Planet store.
