The Moolmusanhappiness Forest Mineral Spring in Yeonggwang-eup, Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do has been continuously selected as one of the "Top 50 Premium Groundwater Sources" designated by Jeollanam-do from 2022 to the present in 2025, establishing itself as a representative local water resource.
This selection was based on a comprehensive evaluation of geological characteristics (J-INDEX), mineral content, and water safety. The Moolmusanhappiness Forest Mineral Spring was recognized for both its excellent taste and safety.
Yeonggwang-gun has regularly managed the water quality of the spring, and it has consistently received a "suitable" rating for drinking water standards in inspections by the Jeollanam-do Institute of Health and Environment, making it a trusted spring where anyone can drink with confidence.
In particular, the Moolmusanhappiness Forest Mineral Spring holds special significance for tea enthusiasts. A resident of Yeonggwang-eup, identified as Mr. A, said, "When brewing green tea, only water from this spring truly brings out the aroma and flavor."
Academic research has shown that the hardness (calcium and magnesium content) and alkalinity of water have a direct impact on the taste of tea. Hard water with high mineral content can cause bitterness and browning, while soft water extracts catechins and amino acids well, enhancing delicate aromas and umami flavors. The water quality of the Moolmusanhappiness Forest Mineral Spring has a stable mineral balance and no chlorine odor, making it ideal for preserving the authentic taste of green tea. This is not just a subjective difference but a scientifically proven result.
In this way, the Moolmusanhappiness Forest Mineral Spring serves as a vital resource for the health of local residents and holds great value as a premium groundwater brand representing Jeollanam-do. Furthermore, it has strong potential to expand into green tea experiences and tourism content, making it a healing destination not only for local enthusiasts but also for visitors from outside the region.
An official from Yeonggwang-gun stated, "The Moolmusanhappiness Forest Mineral Spring is a safe and delicious water source trusted by both residents and tourists," adding, "We will continue to maintain the value of this premium spring through thorough management."
