Gurye Jangjukjeon Green-Tea Cultivation Site is a historically significant green-tea cultivation site in Gurye, Jeollanam-do, traditionally regarded as one of the earliest sites where green-tea cultivation was established in Korea — with founding tradition that traces tea-cultivation introduction back to the Silla period through the historical figure Kim Dae-ryeom. The site is preserved as a designated cultural property and remains an active green-tea cultivation area, with traditional Korean green-tea harvesting and processing methods continuing the long Korean tea-cultivation tradition. The site combines the active tea-cultivation fields with interpretive panels on Korean tea-cultivation history and the broader cultural significance of Korean green-tea tradition. Best for travelers interested in Korean tea-cultivation heritage, paired with broader Gurye-and-Hadong tea-country itineraries.
