This is the name of a tea shop in Seoul. I like how some countries choose poetic names for places. Korean tea is prepared with various herbs stewed in water and honey, and what you see here is three jars of Mokwa Tea made in December 2011 and one jar of Yuja Tea made in December 2012. You put about three spoonfuls into a teacup and add hot water. The tea shop was filled with so many interesting knick knacks that I couldn't stop photographing. Their tea list was extensive and so very interesting in the options.
@taffy -- this was a hole in my April that I finally posted, so yes, that marks two months completed! I took the photo on the right date but hadn't posted yet. The whole teahouse was colorful and intriguing, and I hardly knew where to look. I took so many photos!
@endrem -- I had some of this in Berlin so we could have had a cup if you had come to town while I was there! Actually, it's pretty easy to find in a Korean or Asian grocery store anywhere. I bought some yuja tea in Berlin and served it to the people who own and work at my cafe where I always eat and they loved it so much I gave them the rest of the jar. I hope you try some some day!
