Description
Step into Weekend Yakbang, an intimate herbal tea workshop in Seoul, and discover Hanbang—Korea’s traditional herbal culture—through the rhythm of the seasons.
Begin with an introduction to hanbang and the place of seasonal ingredients in Korean everyday life, led by a licensed herbal pharmacist. Explore a selection of herbal ingredients and hear the cultural stories they carry, along with the traditional ways Koreans have understood the body in relation to seasonal change. Smell, touch, and taste the ingredients to experience their distinctive aromas and flavors for yourself.
Next, taste a season-inspired base tea and learn how its ingredients come together as one balanced blend. With guidance from your host, choose additional ingredients according to your taste preferences and create a blend of your own. Measure and combine the ingredients by hand, then brew your tea and enjoy it in a calm, small-group setting.
Before leaving, pack your finished blend to take home as a personal souvenir from Seoul. Leave with a deeper understanding of how Hanbang connects everyday life with the changing seasons through taste, scent, and storytelling.
