🍵 A Korean Herbal Tea House in an Euljiro Alley — Chamjoeun

If you would like to pause during a busy Seoul itinerary with a warm cup of tea, we recommend Chamjoeun, a traditional tea house serving carefully brewed herbal teas.

It is on the second floor of a building in a Mareunnae-ro alley near Euljiro 3-ga Station, so if you are staying nearby it is a quiet place to drop in during a walk.

The signature Ssanghwacha is richly simmered from various medicinal herbs and topped with nuts, and each tea comes with a small treat such as dried persimmon.

Choose from restorative teas like black ginseng tea and Sipjeon Daebotang to lighter traditional teas such as citron and omija, and enjoy the cozy room lined with jars of herbal liquor.
