Boseong Green Tea Fields — Waves of Green Terraces

Jeollanam-do's Boseong is Korea's largest green tea region. Terraced tea fields curve endlessly down the hillsides, and the green shows a different face each season.

Season by season

• 🌸 Spring — May's first-harvest season. The fields' green is the most vivid of the year. Boseong's best season.
• ☀️ Summer — deepened greenery against a blue sky. In the heat, an early-morning visit is best.
• 🍁 Autumn — the fields stay green year-round, but the surrounding mountains turn with foliage for a fine contrast.
• ❄️ Winter — snow-covered terraced fields. A rare scene of green and white stacked in layers. A light festival is held too.

Highlights

• Terraced tea fields — green waves covering the slopes, the iconic Korean tea-field view.
• Cedar forest path — a straight path leading to the field entrance.
• Viewpoint — a spot taking in the whole ridge of tea fields.

Nearby

Beyond the fields, Boseong has Yulpo Beach and a seawater-green-tea bath nearby. A course from the tea fields down to the coast is popular.

Photo tips

Shoot the terraced fields on a diagonal to bring out the green texture. The cedar path is best around midday when light filters in.
