Drinking and drinks in South Korea culture

Drinking and eating are both a big part of south Korean culture.



The most popular non-alcoholic drink in Korea is tea. The main type of tea that Koreans drink is green tea but there are also many varieties of tea made with fruit, roots or cereals.

Some popular Korean teas are:


Insam Cha, tea made with ginseng

Daechucha, tea made from jujuba
Bori cha, tea made from barley, that Korean restaurants often offer to drink with main meals, instead of water, as it is very light


Korean Alcoholic drinks


Koreans like drinking alcohol, they drink alcohol to socialise, but Koreans drink especially during business dinners.


With many business deals discussed over a glass of Soju for example and with drinking in the many bars and cafes a popular social part of Korean life.
