OSULLOC.

OSULLOC keeps its Seongnam-si tea shop on basement level 1 of Hyundai Department Store Pangyo, at 20 Pangyoyeok-ro 146beon-gil in Baekhyeon-dong, Bundang-gu. The counter opens Monday to Thursday from 10:30 to 20:00 and Friday to Sunday until 20:30. The company is registered at the Osulloc Tea Museum in Andeok-myeon, Seogwipo, on Jeju Island, and its store list runs from that museum and its tea houses to tea shops inside department stores across the country, of which Pangyo is one. Everything on the shelf can also be ordered from the brand's own online shop, where the list of tea products passes two hundred.

The core of the range is organic leaf grown on Jeju and processed by Osulloc Farm in Namwon-eup, Seogwipo. Sejak, the green tea, comes loose in 40 g and 80 g packs and as pyramid bags; Illohyang, sold in 60 g, is the most expensive green on the list. Jeju leaf is also made semi-fermented as Cheong Oolong and Jeju Volcanic Rock Tea, as black tea in Jeju Forest Black Tea, and post-fermented as Samdayeon, sold plain in 80 g or scented with Jeju tangerine in 30 g. Premium Matcha and Garu Nokcha, a green tea powder, both come in 40 g.

Below the island teas sits a wide shelf of flavoured blends in boxes of 20 tea bags, all at one list price: Samda Honey Pear and Jeju Camellia Flower on a post-fermented base, Yuja Earl Grey and Peach Black Tea on black tea from India and Jeju, Honey Apricot on green tea. Wedding Green Tea and Milky Oolong, the latter built on Taiwanese oolong, come as 10 pyramid bags. The caffeine-free line covers Peach Chamomile, organic Chamomile Lavender and Mellow Mint, Sweet Hibiscus, Peppermint Breeze and two rooibos, and the shop also sells milk tea mixes, cold-brew bags and gift sets.
