Drinking tea at a traditional Korean Tea House (전통 찻집) in Insadong, Seoul, Korea Travel Food Video Transcript:
So for today's video we are planning to a visit a traditional Korean tea house (전통 찻집). And it is super hot and humid outside but it is one of those things you just have to do in Seoul (서울). So we're just dealing with the heat and we're going to drink some hot tea and have some rice cakes. Let's sweat it out. Let's go.
So our teas have arrived. Tell us what we're having. Yeah, so the one that I ordered is called gyepi cha (계피 차) and you can have a look at it down here. It comes in a nice like kind of fancy traditional cup. It is almost like a soup bowl. Yeah, it really is. And this is a Korean cinnamon tea (한국어 계피 차) so I'm really excited about this. I love anything with cinnamon.
And we also ordered some sweets to go along with the tea. So what can you tell us? What are we having there. Yeah, so this is really exciting. We've got persimmon slices. They've been dried and then we have some special tteok (떡) which is the Korean rice cakes and they appear to have it looks like rice crispies around them. Yeah they're actually instead of cakes they're more like rice crisps. And I think we've had these ones before like several years ago and they're really airy. They're almost like rice puffs but they are sweet.
So I'm trying the tea (차). And I think you were the clever one today. You got yours as iced. Mine is piping hot and it must be like I don't know 35 degrees with high humidity.
Wow. That is like intense cinnamon flavor. Yeah, it kind of smells like Christmas over here. It does. And it is wonderful. Like it is natural cinnamon. It is not that artificial like garbage-y type
Which are unfortunately in a lot of products. This is real authentic cinnamon.
Okay, so for mine I got the Maesilcha (매실차, 梅實茶) which is a green plum tea and it has got ice cubes in it. Much needed today.
You can actually see behind you there is the air conditioner guys. That huge air conditioner. That is so so hot. And this is so good it is like juice. It is like a sweet syrupy plum juice.
Refreshing?
So time to try the snacks now.
So I'm going to start off with having one of the sliced dried persimmons (감).
And it appears that there is some like chunks of nuts. I'm not sure what that is. If I had to guess without even tasting it I would say maybe walnut.
It is sweet but not too overpowering. I mean you really taste the persimmon. It is kind of like a little bit like a jam.
And I think I was right I'm pretty sure this is walnuts. Hodu (호두). So really tasty.
It goes well with the tea.
And we have a second snack. So do you want to try one of those?
Yeah these are one of the puffed rice cakes. Let's have a closer look. Really good. Again. They look fluffy inside.
Again not too strongly flavored or sugary. Which is really nice because the teas are quite sweet so this is a nice light snack to go along with it.
So I would say that was a very relaxing experience. It was almost like whisper quiet in there with classical music softly playing.
The cool thing is like when you arrive to these establishments really early you can sometimes be the first person there. Yeah and we were the only ones there. Yeah and it there are some people now but while we were having our tea we were the only people there. Okay so let's talk about the price for that.
So the price point was nineteen thousand five hundred Won which is ₩18,500. And that is roughly about 17 US dollars right now. So again it was a little pricey but I mean again we're in the Insadong (인사동) area and it is very touristy. And you're paying for that kind of like authentic tea house traditional tea house (전통 찻집) experience.
