한국 전통 찻집에서 어떤 메뉴들이 있는지 알아버겠습니다! 일반적으로 다양한 건강에 좋은 혼합차들이 있으며 분위기는 종종 고즈넉합니다.
This is the entrance to the Songdawon teahouse in Goseong.
Various pottery, utensils, and handmade items are inside.
Here is the menu. We can see that aside from special health mixes, there are also a few food items on the menu, such as noodles in a red bean sauce, as well as typical teas, juice, and coffee.
I tried a cup of ssanghwa-tang, a popular medical tea in Korea. According to Songdawon’s menu, which specifies in red letters what each tea’s health benefits are, ssanghwa-tang boosts the immune system and increases blood circulation.
I was warned that the taste might not be very pleasant. While the taste is unusual, I found it to be quite palatable. Floating in the tea are slices of jujube, pine nuts, and sesame seeds.
Here are a few other menu items and their listed health benefits:
- 대추: 빈혈 예방 불면 증 소염작용
- 생강차: 감기예방, 수족냉증 면역력 향상
- 생강조청자: 감기예방, 수족냉증 위질환, 혈액순환
- 오미자차: 간, 뇌, 당뇨, 심혈관 질환
- 비트 차: 감기능 빈혈 예방
- 백향과/패션 후르츠: 면역력, 피부미용, 혈관질환
전통차:
- Ujeon: a type of green tea
- Sejak: another type of green tea
- Yellow Tea: a lightly oxidized tea different than Chinese yellow tea
They had a combo deal of steamed buns with red bean sauce and an Americano for ₩7,000.
The inside of the Korean traditional teahouse Songdawon is made to be like a hanok, a traditional Korean house. I still come across old hanoks once in a while in villages in Goseong.
A bunch of trinkets and handmade items, mostly related to tea and kitchen utensils, are for sale too.
Exploring tea in Asian cultures can feel like a whole other world. So this post is just a glimpse at some common teas and what the general idea is.
