Tucked away in a quiet alley of Cheongju, Cafe Gonggi (카페공기) offers a tranquil escape with a beautifully curated interior and a thoughtful selection of unique teas. While their Vanilla Latte fell short of expectations slightly flat in flavor and lacking the rich depth one might hope for. The real surprise came in the form of their Celosia Tea (맨드라미차). This rare floral infusion immediately caught my eye with its vivid magenta hue - a color so striking it felt like sipping a sunset in a glass. Delicately earthy and subtly sweet, it’s a tea that delights both visually and on the palate. A perfect choice for those who appreciate the aesthetics of their drink as much as the taste. The ambiance is minimalist and calming, with ample natural light and wooden textures that enhance the sensory experience. It’s a place to slow down and savor even if not every drink hits the mark.
