Nestled in the charming Hannam-dong area of Yongsan District, this delightful cafe specializes in providing a refined tea experience that is as much about the atmosphere as it is about the exquisite brews served. With a menu that boasts premium loose leaf teas, you can immerse yourself in the age-old tradition of tea drinking while surrounded by the gentle aromas and calming ambiance that this tea house offers.

Customers rave about the cozy environment, making it the perfect spot for a quiet afternoon or a thoughtful conversation over a steaming cup. As Kyuho Kim articulately describes, the calming atmosphere—even when the place is bustling—offers a refuge for the soul. The meticulous attention to detail is evident in the choice of high-quality porcelain cups and teapots, enhancing the experience of savoring every sip. Expect a price range between 15,000 to 20,000 won, which reflects the quality of both the teas and the environment you are indulging in.

You can choose your tea to be served in heat-resistant pots or even prepare it yourself, adding a personal touch to the experience.

For those seeking a more intimate setting, SanSuHwa offers private rooms for tea enjoyment, though reservations are recommended to guarantee a peaceful retreat. A consistent theme in customer reviews, such as that of Moon Choi, highlights that while the pricing may be slightly above average for a Korean tea cafe, the exquisite quality and cozy ambiance justify every won spent.

SanSuHwa Tea House also serves as a cultural hub, with a gallery located in the basement that regularly hosts art exhibitions, infusing creativity into your tea experience. Whether you’re popping in for a quick tea to go or planning a leisurely afternoon with friends, this tea house is a testament to the beauty of traditional tea culture in a modern setting.

Perfect tea room for a fine tea. price between 15000~ 20000won. This place uses good porcelain cups and pots. Also sell great loose leaf tea to go. If you want to use private room, need a reservation before you go.

喫茶去. 마음이 심란하고 갈 곳을 잃은 기분일 때는 차나 한 잔 하지 그래. 사람이 많을 때조차 차분한 분위기. 가게 안에 맴도는 차 내음에 왠지 편안해지는 느낌이다. 마음이 번잡할 때 종종 들러 차를 즐기기 좋은 곳. 동네가 동네이니만큼 가격은 다소 높은 편이지만, 차를 잘 모르는 사람들에게도 친절하게 설명해주고 맛 역시 더할 나위가 없다. 비교적 일찍 영업을 마감하고 일요일이 휴무인만큼 직장인으로서는 쉽사리 훌쩍 오기는 쉽지 않지만, 방문할 때마다 만족도는 높다.

Such a beautiful place with cozy ambience… slightly pricey compared to other Korean tea cafes but it was worth it.

차맛도 공간도 특별합니다. 다만 자리간격이 좁아서, 은근 시끄러워요. 하지만 차가 좋아서 다 괜찮음^^

日本が話せるスタッフがいます。 InstagramかHPから予約していかないとかなり待ちます。 お茶をメニューから選んで、耐熱ポットで提供されるか自分で作るかを選べます。 韓国のお茶は緑茶2種、発酵茶1種、中国、台湾のものもあります。 使われている茶道具や茶葉は購入できます。 地下のギャラリーは定期的に作家の個展を開催しています。

우선 한국에서 쉽게 볼 수 없는 곳입니다 사람들에게 잘 알려지지 않았으면 하는곳이었는데 이미 소문이 나서... 좋은 차 한 잔 하기에 좋고, 또한 숨어 있는 또 다른 매력이 있고 ..평점 5점은 차 이상의 그 무엇이 숨어 있어요 발렛도 되죠 ^^
