A look at the South Korean tea brand's new field-to-package factory designed by Minsuk Cho on Jeju Island

Designed by architect Minsuk Cho and Mass Studies and built directly adjacent to one of their tea fields, the new OSULLOC tea factory on Jeju Island is a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to the production of premium Korean teas. This new factory enables the brand to efficiently and sustainably process and package their teas within a short amount of time after harvest. Until it opened the tea was processed locally but packaged on the mainland, and now that it is operational they’ve fulfilled a longtime desire to go from field to processing to packaging not just locally but adjacent to one of their three organic tea fields on the island.

The facility is designed to welcome guests interested in learning more about OSULLOC tea and their various blends. Visitors can also visit the OSULLOC Tea Museum while visiting the island. In this video Alex Lee, Director of Research and Development, shares OSULLOC’S journey on Jeju over the last 45 years, explaining their philosophy, process and proudly showing us around their new packaging facility which is abuzz with workers who have a view of the tea field workers.
