Boseong, Hadong, and Jeju are the most famous green tea producing areas in Korea. Among them, the green tea produced in Boseong, South Jeolla Province, is considered the best. With not only the exotic scenery of slanted slopes of green tea fields, but also the taste and scent, the place has many unique attractions. In June when beautiful fresh green tea leaves grow thick, the early summer vacation tourists admire the green tea fields, which look as if a green carpet is spread.

Korea's largest tea field, Daehandawon was the first farm to start producing tea in Boseong 40 years ago. The entryway to the farm is beautiful: Daehandawon is at the end of a path through the middle of a dense and straightly upraised cedar forest. After passing the cedar forest, the tea field reaches the foot of a mountain. With 50,000 pyeong (1 pyeong=3.3 sq. meters) of land created like stairs, the higher you go, the better view of the beautiful surrounding tea fields you can have. On days with thick fog, the mystique from the field becomes even thicker.
Daehandawon has a teahouse and green tea ice cream store, alowing visitors to taste green tea with a fresh aroma. Every spring, Boseong holds the Boseong Green Tea Festival to introduce tea culture.
