A new Paradigm of Experience
Do you know about Pu-erh tea?
Pu-erh tea is a fermented tea made and enjoyed by ethnic minorities in Yunnan, south of the Himalayas, and is a fermented tea that takes place over time.
At first, it was an unfamiliar tea in Korea, but recently, it has been frequently featured in video media and is known to be excellent for dieting, so many people are looking for Pu-erh tea.
Pu-erh tea, which has a deep origin that can be assumed to start with the history of tea, is rich in various natural substances formed through the fermentation process of tea leaves.
If you drink properly fermented Pu-erh tea regularly, you can experience the effects of a clear mind, a warm body, and a relaxed mind.
Are your body and mind exhausted from the stress of repetitive daily life?
If so, enjoy Pu-erh tea while chatting comfortably with people at the Jeju Chaye-gwan, where the air is fresh.
If you enjoy the tea enough, you will feel refreshed and renewed energy as your mind and body fatigue is relieved.
With the recent popularity of Pu-erh tea, tea ceremony culture is also loved by many people. Tea ceremony is the etiquette of brewing tea and offering it to guests or drinking it. It refers to the culture of brewing and drinking tea.
Through tea ceremony, you can train your mind and clear your spirit. Try brewing and drinking Pu-erh tea yourself and have a new experience!
