sweet tangerines in november 🍊

If you're planning a trip to Jeju in the late autumn months, don't miss out on the tangerine picking experiences that make the island so special. The tangerine season, including the famous Hallabong variety, typically peaks around November, making it the perfect time to visit for fresh, sweet citrus fruit. I had the chance to visit Gamttanami, a well-known spot for tangerine picking on the island. The experience was not only fun but also gave me a deeper appreciation for the care farmers put into growing these delicious fruits. After picking tangerines right off the tree, I enjoyed sipping fresh tangerine juice and exploring nearby Jeju cafés that feature locally sourced ingredients. Besides the tasty fruit, the scenery around the tangerine orchards is beautiful in the fall, with crisp air and vibrant foliage. It feels like a true seasonal escape. Many farms offer various packages, including guided tours and tasting sessions, which adds to the charm. If you're curious when the Hallabong season starts, it generally follows the tangerine season, often beginning in late November and extending into early winter. Hallabong mandarins are prized for their large size and sweet flavor, and picking them yourself is a memorable experience. Planning your visit around these seasons can enhance your Jeju adventure. Don’t forget to check local recommendations and farm opening times before you go. Overall, enjoying Jeju’s citrus harvest is a fantastic way to connect with the island's culture and flavors.
