From Damyang, we took an hour bus ride to Boseong and visited the Bohyang Dawon- Organic green tea field.Do you know that this organic tea plantation produced the first Gold Tea in the world. Yes , Gold Tea! It refers to the gold in leaves.
We had a tour around the amazing terraced fields and had plucked some flowers, which is good to brew tea.
The tea ceremony at Bohyang dawon was an amazing experience. It involves several steps such as your sitting posture, the way you hold the tea and more.
Most importantly, to absorb the benefit of the tea, one will have to be happy and stay optimistic.
Beside using green tea leaves, lot of strength, patience are needed to make tea. Thanks to the owner, we had an enjoyable time making tea and our group WON THE FIRST PRIZE(The famous gold tea)!
Do remember to buy some green tea back home! Price is from 7,000KRW onwards!
Look at the goodies I bought home ^^
We also visited a very calm sea nearby.
