The experience
A traditional tea house in the quiet foothills of Seongbuk-dong, set in the 1930s hanok that was once the home of the Korean short-story writer Lee Tae-jun; his descendants reopened it as a tea house in 1998. Guests sit on the floor or out by the garden and pond and order traditional Korean teas with rice-cake sweets. It is a little expensive but prized for its calm, antique atmosphere.
A literary hanok teahouse tucked below the northern hills, where an hour with a pot of tea in the garden feels like stepping out of the modern city.
