Tea Museum

TIME : 2016/2/17 13:05:43

About 1.5km northwest of town, this museum is as close as you’ll get to a working tea factory around Munnar. It’s a demo model of the real thing, but it still shows the basic process. A collection of old bits and pieces from the colonial era, including photographs and a 1905 tea-roller, are also kept here. A 30-minute video explaining the history of Munnar, its tea estates and the programs put in place for its workers screens hourly. The walk to or from town follows the busy road wih views of tea plantations; an autorickshaw charges ₹25 from the bazaar.
