Jeju Island is often called the “Hawaii of South Korea”, where many visit for its stunning landscapes, amazing food, and unique culture.

If you’re wondering what to bring back, this guide covers the best souvenirs to buy in Jeju — from delicious local snacks to the most fascinating K-beauty products!

1. Jeju Hallabong Products

Hallabong is Jeju’s signature citrus fruit — a sweet, juicy tangerine known for its unique flavor and fragrance. You’ll find Hallabong-inspired products everywhere on the island, making them some of the most popular Jeju souvenirs.

• Hallabong Tea – this is a very refreshing and aromatic tea made from dried Hallabong peels.
• Hallabong Chocolate – these are sweet treats infused with Jeju’s famous citrus flavour. Our tour guide in 2016 told us that the prices of all these chocolates are standardized throughout Jeju to ensure fair competition!
• Hallabong Marmalade or Jam – perfect for spreading on toast or mixing into yogurt.
• Hallabong Beauty Products – as expected from the country well-known for beauty products, you can get lotions and masks enriched with Hallabong extract for bright, glowing skin.
• Hallabongs – you can just buy the fruit itself and bring home. You’ll be surprised by how popular they are, especially considering that they are very expensive overseas.

Where to Buy: Jeju’s markets, Hallabong orchards, and local souvenir shops.

2. Jeju Green Tea Products

Jeju’s volcanic soil and mild climate make it ideal for growing high-quality green tea. The island is home to Osulloc Tea Museum, where you can sample and buy some of the best green tea products in Korea.

• Jeju Green Tea Leaves – You’ll find a variety of flavoured tea blends, along with the usual green tea leaves. Be sure to pick up the exclusive flavours from Osulloc!
• Green Tea Milk Spread – other than their prolific teas, Osulloc is also famous for their green tea milk spread. It’s a delicious, smooth spread with a fragrant hint of green tea that instantly enhances the flavour of anything.
• Green Tea Powder (Matcha) – great for baking or making lattes.
• Green Tea Chocolates and Cookies – delicious and unique sweet treats.
• Green Tea Skincare – soothing face masks, creams, cleansers, and toners made from Jeju green tea extract are a must-buy. If you’re not sure what brand to buy, you won’t go wrong with Innisfree.

Where to Buy: Osulloc Tea Museum, Innisfree Jeju House, and local markets.

3. Dol Hareubang Statues and Merchandise

You’ll see Dol Hareubang (stone grandfathers) all over the island. They are Jeju’s iconic volcanic rock statues, believed to be protectors of the island. The best part is that you can actually bring them home – sort of.

Some popular Dol Hareubang souvenirs include:

• Mini Dol Hareubang Statues – these make for great home decor that are amazing conversation starters.
• Dol Hareubang Keychains and Magnets – cute and affordable keepsakes that you can gift your loved ones.
• Dol Hareubang Soap – these are usually handmade with Jeju’s volcanic ash and natural ingredients.
• Dol Hareubang Chocolates – shaped like the statues and often made with local flavours, such as hallabong.

Where to Buy: Jeju Folk Village, souvenir shops in Jeju City, and tourist sites.

4. Jeju Black Pork Snacks

Jeju’s black pork is one of the island’s culinary highlights. If you can’t get enough of black pork BBQ (my personal favourite is Bondon!), you can take a bit of this famous flavour home with you.

However, do be careful of certain import restrictions that your country may have on meat, particularly pork.

• Black Pork Jerky – a savoury and slightly sweet snack that tastes a bit like bak gwa.
• Black Pork Chips – crispy and addictive, these make a great travel snack.

Where to Buy: Seogwipo Maeil Olle Market and local grocery stores.

5. Jeju Honey and Honey-Infused Products

You may already know that Jeju is famous for Hallabongs and green tea, but did you also know that the island produces some of the finest honey in Korea? Known for its purity and rich taste, Jeju honey makes a thoughtful and delicious souvenir.

Some souvenir ideas include:

• Jeju Wildflower Honey – this is unique to the island as it is harvested from native Jeju flowers.
• Honey-Infused Skincare – Honey is a popular product in K-beauty, which is why it makes the best nourishing face masks and creams.
• Honey Snacks – Honey-coated nuts, candies, & cookies, literally any snack you can think of!

Where to Buy: Local honey farms, Jeju specialty stores, and markets.

6. Jeju Camellia Oil and Skincare

Camellia flowers bloom in Jeju’s mild winters, and is a gorgeous sight to behold in places like Camellia Hill. Its oil has been used for centuries in Korean beauty rituals. Jeju camellia oil is well-known for its moisturising and anti-aging properties.

In particular, look out for hair products that use camellia extract/essence. These are said to add shine and softness to hair. I personally really enjoyed using the Innisfree Camellia Essential Hair Oil Serum!

Where to Buy: Camellia Hill, Innisfree Jeju House, local beauty stores, and Jeju duty-free shops.

7. Jeju Volcanic Skincare Products

Jeju’s volcanic soil is rich in minerals, making it perfect for natural beauty products. Jeju volcanic clay masks have become famous worldwide for their ability to deep-cleanse and purify the skin.

• Jeju Volcanic Clay Mask – clears pores and controls oil.
• Volcanic Ash Soap – this cleanser also provides gentle exfoliation for smooth skin.

Where to Buy: Innisfree Jeju House and other beauty boutiques.

8. Jeju Tangerine Peel Tea (Cheongpyulcha)

Most of us are familiar with Hallabong that’s native to Jeju. However, Jeju’s regular tangerines are also incredibly popular!

The dried peels are used to make Cheongpyulcha, a fragrant and soothing tea. It’s known for its health benefits, which includes aiding digestion and boosting immunity.

Where to Buy: Jeju local markets and specialty tea shops.
