Lockhart Tea Factory & Museum Munnar

One of the largest producers of tea, Lockhart Tea Factory was founded by the British during colonial rule. Some of the finest tea in the world is still produced at the British tea factories which operate here for export purposes. The undulating terrains and low-lying plains are used for growing tea. After cultivation from these estates, the tea is processed in nearby factories before they are shipped to different parts of the world.

Munnar alone is home to more than 50 tea estates/gardens. If you cannot get enough of misty Munnar, the 150-year-old Lockhart Tea Bungalow is an ideal option for accommodation. It was built by the British on the slopes of the Chokramudi hills. Some of the finest tea in the world are produced in the factories here.
