See how Nilgiri tea goes from leaf to cup
Ooty is surrounded by tea estates, and the tea factory and museum show the full process: plucking, withering, rolling, fermenting, drying and grading. A short tour ends with a tea tasting and a shop selling fresh Nilgiri tea and homemade chocolates.
The museum section tells the story of tea cultivation in the Nilgiris with old machinery and photographs.
See it as part of a planned itinerary with transport, stay and a trip coordinator.
