Скачать или смотреть Traditional Korean Tea House (찻집) in Insadong, Seoul to drink Korean Ginseng Tea (인삼)

In this travel video we head back to Insadong to visit yet another traditional Korean tea house (찻집) that specializes in Korean Ginseng tea known locally as Insam (인삼). Sometimes discovering something late is better than never. Our passion for frequenting Korean traditional tea houses is something we only discovered mere weeks before we're set to leave Korea. One of the best features of these Korean tea houses are the quirky names.
At first we thought it was as follows: "Moon bird does not always think of the moon."

However, after careful inspection we realized Moon bird really is rather obsessed with the moon: "Moonbird does think of only the moon."

Deciding not to ponder this any longer we finally sat down and placed our order for Korean tea and Korea rice cakes.

This tea house is different from the last one we visited given that it is more modern and involves seated tables as opposed to sitting on the floor.

Couples could write their names on the wall and we carved our initials discretely as well.

We often have a problem of wanting what the other person orders.

Audrey's cinnamon bark infused tea, known locally as Sujeonggwa (수정과), a traditional fruit punch with a distinctly dark reddish brown color.

It's a healthy drink made primarily from ginger, cinnamon, dried persimmons and pine nuts with a touch of honey or brown sugar.

As a sweet tea, it's primarily severed as a dessert.

Given that it was our last weekend in Korea we decided to spend our time in Insadong to buy some souvenirs to send home to family and friends.

In less than a few days from now we'll be swapping our winter clothes (jackets and long underwear) for distinctly summer attire (t-shirt and shorts).

We're excited to be heading to Malaysia! I've been several times but this will be the first time for Audrey. I suppose that's my excuse for acting so silly in this video ;)

We're going to miss Korea but our plans to backpack around the world are certainly keeping our minds focused on what is ahead:

이 여행 비디오 에서 우리는 인삼 ( 인삼 ) 로컬로 알려진 고려 인삼 차 를 전문으로 또 다른 한국의 전통 찻집 ( 찻집 )를 방문 하기 위해 다시 인사동 으로 향한다.

We are in Insadong. Owe! Yeah, we are. We are in Insadong and we're visiting another traditional tea house and it is called Moon Bird Does Not Always Think Of The Moon. Was that it? Did I get it right?

Moon Bird Does Think Of Only The Moon. Only the moon? Only?

It's on. Hi! Last weekend we visited a traditional tea house in Insadong and today we are visiting a different kind of tea house. It is more of a modern twist - a more modern approach.

This cozy little Korean tea house has a lot of character as seen on the walls and other parts of where we're staying.

And what does Miss Audrey have? I'm having a cup of sujukwanja, which is cinnamon bark infused tea. It is actually too hot to pick up and drink, so I'll let you show everyone.

What are you doing? It was really chewy.

It is very strong and very flavorful and you can definitely taste the cinnamon in there. It is really nice and perfect for winter.

Wait I need to swallow my rice cake. This is fun. This is the fun part. Swallow it!

This is our very last weekend in Korea. We've been living here for a year. Our plan for today is to spend the afternoon in Insadong to buy some souvenirs and perhaps some wooden face masks and just enjoy our last day in the city. That is the plan.

We honestly can't believe how fast this year went. As soon as next Friday we're going to be changing in our winter jackets and our long undies for t-shirts and shorts. We're heading to Malaysia.

What are you doing over there? You're stealing the show.
