We&#8217;d initially included a visit to the Jeju Aerospace Museum but dropped that when we reviewed the itinerary last night to add another coastal trail walk.<\/p>\n<p>Our first stop for the day remained the <strong>Osulloc Tea Museum<\/strong>. This is a popular spot for many visitors to Jeju, and actually includes three places that are in the same general compound: the green tea fields, the Osulloc Tea Museum itself, and Innisfree Jeju House. There are at least a few sections of green tea fields: one that&#8217;s across the road from the museum and Innisfree House, and a smaller one that is just beside the Innisfree Jeju House cafeteria. The museum itself introduces visitors to the history and culture of Korean tea, and there is a busy retail area that sells all sorts of teas as well as matcha-type snacks and drinks. Innisfree Jeju House carries a variety of skincare products, and yes, there is a seating area at the end for women to deposit any male companions. The cafeteria there offers pricey beverages and pastries, but with views of the tea fields adjacent to it.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_38798\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38798\"
