O’Sulloc Tea Museum

The basics

How to get there

O’sulloc Tea Museum is in Seogwipo on the western side of Jeju Island. The 151 bus runs from Jeju City to the museum and takes approximately an hour, depending on traffic. Be aware that most public transport has signage in Korean, which can make navigating difficult. The easiest way to reach the museum is via a tour, which typically will include travel.

When to get there

The museum is open every day from morning until early evening, year-round. The best time to visit Jeju is during the spring (March-May) or fall (September-November). Jeju summers see high humidity and increased rainfall, which can make for a wet experience if exploring the outdoor tea fields.

More things to do in west Jeju

O’sulloc Tea Museum isn’t the only cultural highlight on Jeju’s west side. It’s also home to the Teddy Bear Museum, which has hundreds of bears, including the world’s smallest teddy. Hallim Park is worth visiting to see the thousands of square meters of botanical gardens, where native and exotic flora thrive.
