OSULLOC Tea House & Tea Factory

About this place

This is OSULLOC's second Jeju site, not the well-known Tea Museum in Seogwang on the west of the island. It sits in the Hannam tea field near Namwon on the south-east coast, where Amorepacific opened a tea factory in 2024 that handles every step from harvested leaf to finished package in one place. Minsuk Cho of Mass Studies designed the factory inside and out. It is a single long building, about 165 metres and two storeys, laid along the south side of the field. A looping route runs through it, and viewing windows placed along the production line let visitors follow each stage of tea making without entering the hygienic zones. The building is kept low and horizontal so the rows of tea bushes, and on clear days Hallasan behind them, stay the main event. In June 2026 a tea house opened where the field meets the factory, followed in July by the Tea Library inside the factory. The tea house is deliberately restrained, with corrugated steel walls and wide windows onto the bushes; it serves Jeju matcha and hojicha, including tea gelato and a matcha affogato. A sloping path from it leads out toward the field and an observation deck facing the factory. The Tea Library arranges the brand's history, tea varieties and old packaging between twelve walk-through bookshelves, with gaps framing the field, and includes a hojicha roasting room where you can watch leaves being roasted. Plan on one and a half to two hours. A car is the practical way to get here; the area is rural. A quiet gotjawal forest walk starts nearby.
