Perfect activity if you are sick and tired of only shopping and sightseeing. It was a wonderful experience learning what herbal tea brewing is about for Koreans. Hyunji is very detailed and engaging, and speaks good English!
A great alternative to make your soap by yourself, the best part is that you know what you put in and it is a non-chemical version with herbals perfect for the winter time. The instructors can speak and understand English as well. The atmosphere is warm and cozy.
This was my favorite class! I learned so much about Korean medicine, and the teacher is so fabulous. She’s so kind and smart. I highly recommend this class.
I had a wonderful experience with Hyunji, the owner of Weekend Yakbang, and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in Korean herbal tea and culture. What made this experience so special was how personal it felt. As the only participant that day, I had the opportunity to learn directly from Hyunji in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The experience was interactive, engaging, and tailored to my interests and questions. I learned about traditional Korean herbal ingredients, their uses, and the cultural background behind them. It was fascinating to discover more about Korean herbal tea culture and its connection to everyday life. With her extensive background in pharmacy and herbal medicine, Hyunji was able to explain the ingredients and their traditional uses in a knowledgeable yet approachable way. This was one of the most memorable experiences of my time in Seoul. Thank you, Hyunji, for your warmth, generosity, and passion for sharing Korean herbal tea traditions.
It was so much fun! 👍 This was the best experience of our trip to Korea!! Hyunji-sensei is the best! ♥️ All five of us were extremely satisfied, and it was a very fulfilling two-hour experience! We want to be like the beautiful Hyunji-sensei and would love to do this experience again! The variety of medicinal teas was extensive and very profound, but her explanations were very easy to understand and informative! We'd love to learn about medicinal teas from Hyunji-sensei again! She's a friendly and wonderful teacher! We're so grateful for all the things she taught us beyond just tea! ♡♡♡
Hyunji was a knowledge and informative instructor. She was kind and so easy going and helps you to customize your tea to your health needs. I enjoyed learning more about the culture behind medicaid tea in Korea.
It was the most memorable and meaningful experience I had in Korea! The host Hyunji explained traditional seasonal tea using simple ideas from Korean traditional medicine, so it was easy to understand. The best part of this class was making my own tea. I shared some small discomfort I have, and the host helped me choose the right ingredients. It was very special for me. If I visit Seoul in another season, I will definitely join this class again! I really recommend this class if you’re looking for a special wellness experience in Seoul!☺️
Grateful for this inspiring Korean Herbal Tea Workshop. Learned valuable herbal knowledge, met amazing teacher, and gained a deeper appreciation for Korea's rich traditional healing wisdom. 🌿🇰🇷
A personalised version of tea depending on my complaints like my cold hands and feet. You mix the tea by yourself with the help of the instructors. You can make your specialised herbal mixture in form of pills too. It was interesting and fun at the same time. I would recommend it to try it out to everyone. I felt like the main character of the The Apothecary Diaries
Such an amazing experience of traditional Korean medicine! We made our personalized herbal tea by ourselves under the host’s guidance. The host Hyunji is very professional and explained everything in an easy way for us, so we really enjoyed this session even though we didn’t have any knowledge of Korean medicine. Highly recommend it to travellers who want to experience something unique and healthy in Seoul!
