Coastal hills · Southern Korea
Mist, rainfall and a mountain–coastal tea landscape
Boseong sits where inland mountains meet Korea’s southern coast. Humid air, frequent fog and abundant rainfall create natural moisture and intermittent shade across its cultivated tea hills. The region is Korea’s best-known large-scale green-tea area and supports a broad retail range across farms and producers.
