Can anyone help me identify this tea, and how to get some??
Hello - I wonder if any locals or experts in the thread can help me find out about a certain type of "Hutgaesu" tea.
The waitress who served us in an izakaya/yakitori place that we went to in Seoul a couple of years ago described it as "Korean wooden tea".
Two years later and we are still reminiscing about how amazing this tea was.
The restaurant we ate at was called Izakaya Namu Jonggak. It's at 16 Jong-ro 10-gil, Jongno District, Seoul.
I don't speak Korean (I'm in Australia) and language was a bit of a barrier at the time, but I'm hoping to source some for my daughter. It was one of many highlights that made our trip to Seoul unforgettable!
