Munnar Tea Museum

There’s no visiting Munnar without a trip to the Tea Museum, just 2 km from the town, which finds a spot on every traveller’s checklist to the hill station. It is a walk through the history of tea in India, showcasing memorabilia that show the rise of tea plantations and the processing of the plant over the years.

A Tata Tea initiative established in the Nallathanni estate in 2005, it is a tastefully-designed museum which does justice to its purpose. The museum is of relevance as it depicts the story of how a single commodity changed lives, as a means of livelihood to a muchcoveted commodity, from its early days to the Munnar which is associated with tea plantations today. One can see up close, a variety of tools to modern machinery.
