Hello,
same reader from Yongsan post.
I'm wondering if you know where I can have traditional korean tea ceremony? Information would be much appreciated. Thanks for a great infos on your blog!

I would try out this traditional tea ceremony. The price is reasonable at 50,000 or you can do the deluxe version for 70,000. I have heard good things about this location, and compared to other ceremonies this really is affordable. http://www.visitkorea.or.kr/ena/SI/SI_EN_3_6.jsp?cid=309542
I would love to see pictures if you end up going!
Also, if you don't want a traditional Korean tea ceremony, you can experience a Buddhist tea ceremony at the following temple stay. www.templestay.com Prices range between 30,000 and 50,000 won including 3 meals and translation fees. At the Korean temples the ceremony is unique and has specific etiquette and practices.
I wish I knew the name of the place I went to back in 2009, the woman was a tea ceremony major in college!
Thanks for postiing this
