Скачать или смотреть Inside the heart of Munnar's tea production.

A visit to a tea factory in Munnar is an immersive journey that takes you from the rolling, manicured hills of the Western Ghats to the final cup of Kerala's famous brew.

🌿 The Setting
The factories are nestled amidst the spectacular, emerald-green tea plantations of Munnar. The air surrounding the factory is typically cool, misty, and intensely fragrant, carrying the distinct scent of dried and processed tea leaves. Famous factories like the Kannan Devan Hills Plantations (KDHP) Tea Museum (often called the Tata Tea Museum), Lockhart Tea Factory, and Mattupetty Tea Factory are popular stops, each set against a breathtaking backdrop.


🏭 The Factory Structure & History
The buildings themselves often hold historical significance, with some—like parts of the Lockhart Tea Factory—dating back to the British colonial era (early 20th century). Many factories, especially those that operate as museums, preserve vintage machinery and an old-world charm, acting as time capsules that showcase the evolution of the tea industry in the region since the late 19th century
