죽로차(대나무밭 사이사이에서 자라는 차)라 불리우며 자연 그대로를 차에 담고 있습니다. 사람들의 건강을 위해 차를 만들고 있습니다. 많은 사람이 차를 마시면서 자연을 느끼고 평화로움을 찾을 수 있는 그러한 차를 만들기 위해 늘 애쓰고 있습니다.

My stay at here was eye opening. I am so happy to have been able to spend some time in this beautiful place and defenitely consider to come back. The days are routinous. There is local staff where there is a language barrier but still very friendly and an international group of WWOOFers. I met great people during my stay and was able to learn about tea and got a glimpse into meditation. In that sense it felt very communal. The location is beautiful and has options to explore. During this time of year, which is more calm then harvesting season, but we still got some work done. There was kimchi making, tea sorting and packaging and cutting in the forest. I highly recommend this place.

The host and the team is very kind. The location is very calm and beautiful. We used to have breakfast in the morning at 6:15 am and meditation at 7:15 am. Our work started at 8 am. With breaks and a bit of cleaning it was not at all tiring. Due to the language barrier we always had a translator but Sannim and Sejannim always wanted to have conversation and share their knowledge about meditation, tea, Buddhism etc. There are repeat volunteers there around the age of 22-23 while I was there.

Staying here was my first WWOOF experience, and I don't think I could have found a better place. Wonderful, interesting people, full of kindness. The atmosphere of this place will stay with me for a long time. I hope I will be able to visit them again, help out, drink delicious tea together, and talk.

머무르는 동안 되게 즐거웠어요. 차를 마실 수 있는 공간이 있어서 거기서 자유롭게 차를 마실 수 있더라고요. 차 문화에 대해 깊이 알 수 있는 시간이었습니다. 개인적인 사정으로 오래 머무르지 못했지만, 기회가 생기면 다시 방문하고 싶어요.
