Tteuran, which means 'inner garden,' is a beautiful traditional tea house located at the border of Insadong and Ikseon-dong. It became famous among movie buffs as a filming location for 'Cafe Noir,' but it has long been a favorite for locals seeking quiet contemplation. The tea house surrounds a tiny but perfectly manicured courtyard garden.
They specialize in 'strong' traditional teas like Ssanghwa-cha and Daechu-cha (jujube tea), which are slow-brewed to extract maximum health benefits. The interior is filled with warm wood and soft lighting, making it one of the most romantic and peaceful spots in the area.
Located in Insadong, walkable from Anguk Station (Line 3).
