Traditional Korean Tea House

We drove to Palgonsan (a mountain) to enjoy a traditional tea house! It was so delicious and the flavors were extremely potent!  They serve a sort of "drink appetizer" before they serve you the main course of tea.  The appetizer is a sort of barley water that goes down very smooth and keeps you wanting more.  We tried two different teas: Pomegranate Tea and the House Tea.  They were very good but upon future returns- I'll leave the house tea and ask for a double helping of the pomegranate.  Interestingly, many times they drink their tea through a small spoon or a tiny cup which is somewhat irritating when it's so good to only have such small sips!  

Walking up to the tea house.  The lanterns are so pretty!

All smiles! 

Many things about this picture make me laugh.

Enjoying life!
