The story

Boseong Green Tea Festival in Boseong

A May festival in Boseong timed to the region's green tea harvest, where visitors pick and process tea leaves, shape ceramic tea bowls, and take part in tea ceremony demonstrations across the town's terraced plantation hillsides. Newer additions include tea-themed snacks, healing treks and yoga sessions among the tea rows, plus evening illuminations and performances.

Terraced tea fields climbing the hillsides above Boseong, a plantation once listed among CNN's picks for scenic sights worldwide, turn into an open-air classroom each May when the region's green tea harvest coincides with its signature festival.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Unlike festivals staged near agriculture, this one runs directly on a working plantation during active harvest, so visitor paths and picking stations share ground with farmers bringing in the season's crop in real time

02

The mystery stays covered

The plantation's terraced hillsides, recognized internationally as a scenic landmark, double as both farmland and festival backdrop, and newer wellness programming like guided treks and yoga sessions has widened the audience well beyond dedicated tea enthusiasts
