We can buy many different varieties of tea from here. Not just tea there are also coffee,iced tea flavors,homemade chocolates,honey and spices for buying. There are offers for certain types like ripple tea(buy 2 get 1 free).Also you can pay 125 rs as entry fee and see a demonstration of how fresh tea leaves are processed and grinded to fine powders and classified as light,medium and strong tea,history of tea plantations old type writing machines etc.The location is so beautiful that on a fine cool evening we can even see the mist on top of the mountains.
One of the must visit spot in munnar. They charge Rs. 125/- per head. Museum is located amidst the greeny mountains which is covered by tea plantation. Easy to locate and have wide parking area. First, they will show how they started, where they are now and how tea was prepared via one documentary session then we will happen to see the same in live. We will be accompanied with one guide where he will explain the process in our comfortable language. One could experience the real freshness of tea in and out. Also, they have small outlet where you can buy freshly prepared tea packets. They have large varieties of tea. You will get to gain some knowledge about tea making process when you come out!!
It is one of the best spot to visit in Munnar. The ticket rate is Rs.125 per head. First they will show us a small documentary session about how they started and what all things affected them and where they are now. Then they will explain and show us the making process of tea, starting from the tea leaves to the tea which we buy from shops. Tea also have different varieties. We can also buy tea packets from their outlet with a discount. Different varieties of tea are available there. Different variety of chocolates are also available with rare choices in flavour. We bought chilly chocolates and it was really nice.
Entry fee is Rs.125 per person , which is a bit expensive when compared to what they offer. 125 rupees just for showing a documentary of around 30 minutes and a guided tour to mini tea factory. In the mini tea factory, smaller machines are set up which they will operate and explains the process of tea making. If you are keenly interested to know the history of tea making , you can pay for the ticket and visit the place. Else I would suggest you to avoid the place.
There is a video show about the history of Munnar, worth watching, but the audio quality was very poor (may be because of the fan operating in that hall). Then there was someone did a demo of the old tea factory - also not worth spending time, as the explanations were less than adequate. Looks like they were trying to market their green tea and related products more.They have a stall to buy their tea products, ample car parking and toilets (not so clean, I must say) as well.
Not much for sight seeing, journey fromMunnar town to tea museum is quite good. One experienced person explains about history of tea and all, that’s interesting to an extent. But the quality of ripples tea is too good, I personally purchased Tea Packets and Coffee Packets, taste is quite good for its price.
The place provides a documentary video of Munnar history , has old tea equipment (100+ Years), small factory for demo and an outlet.The outlet is good for souvenirs like chocolate, tea, spices etc. more trustworthy and better than most outlets.
Visit this place if you are interested to know the history of tea plantation in munnar. They provide period documentary shows and tea processing procedure. You can buy tea products from the shop inside which also houses a small snacks bar where you can enjoy different varieties of tea like white and green tea. The entry is restricted by ticket which is bit costly. Photography is prohibited inside. Rest rooms are provided. Amble car parking facility is also available.
The experience was quite good. There is a documentary that is shown followed by the processes involved in tea making.
Nice place and all the staff and workers have very good nature.
Munnar one of the famous place for tea plantation & chocolates. They also teach you how to add flavor to your chai.They also have big chocolate factories where you are allowed to visit n taste some chocolates.To enjoy the scenic beauty of Munnar one must not miss to see the hills covered with cultivate tea. They also serve you some traditional food like fish, red meat, rice, curry leaves.The folk dance of kathkali was mind blowing.Best time to visit -monsoon & wintersEnjoy your trip with your friends & family..
The entry fee is 125 per person but it doesent worth it because it is only a museum we cant see the live production. You can visit kannan devans tea factory in munnar - marayoor road and it only costs 100 rupees per person
Tea Museum is an interesting place for those who likr to drink tea, want to know more about history of tea growing at Munnar, and want to buy souvenir like printed mugs or t-shirt. Here you can enjoy a documentary of about 30 minutes describing the history and presently how Tata is managing Kanan Devan Hill Plantation Pvt Ltd. (KDHP). Here all the employees are shareholders of the company. Here you can see a live demonstration of how tea is cut, oxidised, dried and sorted in various grades from bigger grains to dust. After watching this live tea making process, you can enjoy refreshing cup of tea of your choice in its cafeteria. It has its own factory outlet from where you can buy the premium white tea, green tea, and of course the regular tea including flavored tea. You can also buy authentic Kashmir saffron packed by KDHP. If you dont visit this place in Munnar, you really miss an important place of interest.
A very unique experience to see how our favorite brew of the morning, tea is made. They give you a history of the Tea company, from Finlay to Tata to Kanan Devan Hills Plantation. Its worth a visit. Its open from 10am to 4pm except Mondays.
One of the best place for learning history of munnar and tea
Very nice tea producing and sales museum . And old collections in this place. Really enjoy with friends and family ☺️
Bad experience. They are charging 125 rupees only for entrance ticket for no reason. Additional to that they taking More and more money from the public.
Its an ok experience for me. Not a must visit place in munnnar, if you have time and nothing else to do in Munnar go to this place or else leave it.
Tea Museum, previously known as Tata Tea Museum.Your visit to Munnar hill station will not complete without spending some time in the Tea Museum, exploring the history of the Tea plantations.They give demo in which they showed how the whole tea production process works.Even though its called a museum, they actually have a working miniature factory there, where they use raw tea leaves freshly picked from the tea gardens, send through the entire production process and pack into different bags according to the grading.They have a pretty big sales outlet where they sell all Tata beverages and Kanan Devan products. You need to pay Rs 125 per person for admission to the museum.
If you are in area for tour this is must visit place they show you the whole historical artifacts along with great pieces of history and also show a movie documentary on the history of region. There is a sun dial and also guide for the tea making and Tea sale is also available.
It is very nice Those who dont know about tea manufacturing and how much qty tea intake per day that people must vist
The tea museum experience was not the greatest one...The process of tea prepartion was not explained that well, the tour was operated in not so professional manner.This one needs to be re framed. Probably the entry fee of 125 per person is not worth....
Documentary film have small history thereBest quality tea products also there
We loved our visit here in munnar. All the chai lovers must visit this place to get know of history of tea and old time communication hunting mentod and more . You can book plantation house within the museum for a amazing peacefull stay. Ripple tea is brand name that tea museam produce
Good staff & nice presentation...
Nestled in between the rolling hills beautifully covered with tea plantations, we can observe first hand the processing of Tea. One can also buy a variety of teas from the retail outlet.
Nice place to get information about this area, the plantation history, how this area developed ..they show movie around 30 minutes which cover all this.How tea made? Entire process will be displayed.One can purchase tea, green tea and many flavours. Huge parking available.Nice place to learn about Tea
Totally useless to send 140 rupees per person. Definitely dont go. Random stuff not even related to tea has been placed in the museum. It is literally made of just four rooms with some used stuff. Not recommended at all.
Must visit.. understand the history of munnar
Good place to visit. Rich with natural beauty. The visual treat is beyond our calculations. We can sea tea making instruments which they used in the early period and later onwards. Enough parking area and other facilities also.Please ensure the working hours and timing
This is a museum situated around 2 Kms away fron main city centre. This is supposed to be a Tea museum but its nothing that sortFirstly only a few things are there about tea which are just facts available on google too. No old machinery is there except one or two.The local guide sir explains you about the right proportions of drinking green tea. Theres also a documentary of about 28 minutes on which i didnt spend time as it was totally not useful.Inside theres more focus on selling the tea and bi products rather than having actual museum. Also unnecessary things are there which are not at all relatable to tea and tea museum.Place is not worth for 125₹ at all . State government needs to reduce the fees for sure.
Tata Tea Museum, previously known as Kannan Devan Museum. One of the prime tourist destination in Munnar.
Its a museum, not a Tea Estate as the name suggests. Please go expecting as much. Includes a 30 min video on history of the hills, some artifacts and then a live tea making process from the plants to the end products. Do buy as much stuff as you want from the shop post the visit. The prices are pretty reasonable compared to the main market and products are genuine.
Good place to understand the history of tea plantations and its growth over the years in the munnar region.There is a demonstration unit which shows the process of tea making until sorting.
They are charging ₹125 as entry fee. But its not worth.. Just one video documentry & demonstration of making tea.. In my opinion For ₹125 its not worth..
Good explanation of the processing of tea leaves.
Very good place. The guide is very informative and intelligent. This is one of the oldest tea plantation company in India and the largest. One point to prefer this over other tea factories is that they show a 30 minutes long film on history of tea plantation in India. The film is very good with good direction and is full of information. You will surely change your views about tea after visiting the museum. After the film you will be demonstrated the complete process of tea making and you will end up in the factory outlet. They sell at great discounts and offers so one can prefer this over local market.
There is a tea museum here, a documentary show and a tea processing unit. There was unfortunately nobody to explain what was happening in the processing unit.There is also a shop where you can purchase varieties of tea, chocolates and jams.Place is not worth ₹ 125 per head.
Explained well about the tea and how to consume it. Also we can see the step by step process of making the tea.... Ripple from KDHP. 🥰👍👍
Amazing first tym saw Tea Museum ❤️
Good & informative tea museum.Buy tea at affordable rates than market but entry fee is 125Rs per head.
Very good place to know the history of Munnar
I personally feel its a boring place. You would see the old photos of tea manufacturing. And you would see the machinary which was used in the olden days for tea powder manufacturing. They would show you a short documentary on how the tea plantation was started in Kerala. They would also show you the real time manufacturing of tea powder. They would sell different tea powders.
I like the concept but there is no one to guide you. I have Googled the services they offered then I have seen everything or I might miss one or two attractions which they were offering.We were 4 people group still we waited for half an hour for the tea testing. No guide was available for tea plantation tour again we waited for 45 mins.For 4 hours activity, we completed in four and a half hours.However, I like the tea testing session and benefits of tea session.
Beautiful place awesum service n very well hospitality of customer
Nice museum. They have documentary for munnar history. They have antiques related tea plantation. They have demo tea production unit and also tea selling unit. Small tea plantation for photography. Overall satisfactory.
Old British empire, Tea factory. All the equipment is intact. Beautiful location. There is a entrance fee and also they sell very good ice cream out side
Good learning experience.
☕
Lots and lots of tea . You have a guided tour through the factory and can see how the manufacturing is done. They even sell different flavours of tea if you want to buy.The rain and a cup of nice hot tea was definitely a highlight of Munnar for me.
A guided tour is a must to get the best from this visit. We had an hour walk around the plantation, spotting wildlife as we went, also worth the time is the tea tasting, we learned so much about different types of tea, and how it should be made, with a final stop in the small shop to purchase a fantastic selection off teas. The factory tour was also very interesting.
• Complete waste of money.• I suggest you guys to go anywhere else but not this tea museum.• They dont even look at domestic tourist and behave very rude. Specially the guy near tea making process.• They only target foreign tourist. May be because of white skin or may be they get commission from them.• Its also expensive compared to other places.
A heritage place. They have preserved many historic things about Munnar and its Tea production. Ticket is 125 Rs. They show a documentary which seems quite lengthy. Lot of artifacts and old machines are present. Once the documentary is over there is visit to tea processing factory. Entertaining and informative process.Also they have separate session about how one should drink tea. Surprisingly theyre telling people hazardous effects of tea on human body. Really informative and helpful session. The surrounding area and tea museum has its own aura. The most important thing youll get from here is how they balance industrialization, social reformation and ecological preservation.Really like the place highly recommended.
It was good. They describe the tata tea history in munnar through video and how the tea works in a quick show.You can watch the process of machine. Overall it can be a good experience if you like to know about the things deeply.
We have to pay INR 125 for enter this museum. I love this museum because they have so many old stuff/equipment. But honestly, some of theme not really related with tea. I am not sure about this.In the end, I enjoyed visited this museum with my whole friends.
History of tea is good. Live tea production can be seen. But it doesnt seem to be a modern process. You can buy all varieties of tea by Kannan Devan.
The video all about tea production is really interesting as is the small tea garden you can walk around. The factory shows exactly how tea is made, however the talk upstairs wasnt very clear to hear and seemed to be catered more for locals. When we went there wasnt anyone picking tea but not sure if that was just unlucky. A little frustrated that when we tried to book the tea tasting at the gate we were told it wasnt in but later saw it being run. Worth a visit but you wont be there long.
A small documentary in projector is shown first. Next is the demo of the factory. A person tells everything about tea, from how to plant to how is the plantations done, different tea and right way to prepare tea. Then you can buy different tea and have it there as well. Worth the 150 Rs we spend there. 1.5 hours can be spent easily.
It was a lifetime experience understanding history and process of tea making in India. A guided tour with enriched knowledge on varieties of tea, differences in various grades of tea and best ways to prepare tea make the trip a memorable trip. Ripple tea factory and museum is must visit place in Munnar.
Its a good place to know the story behind tea how it got prepared and discovered there are big machinery used for production of tea from its leaves. There is entry fees is there which is might be worth it. Personally I found it boring anyways you can give it a try if you want.
As the name itself describing it as a tea museum. Here you will know the history of tea, manufacturing process in olden days, how to prepare tea powder using tea leaves. There is small documentary also describing about all these things. You can taste different types of tea and purchase it.
Different experience.You will know how tea powder is produced.
Place for the tea lovers that’s all. You can see different types of things which is used to make chai. Best part is that, they give an opportunity for the visitors to taste wide range of tea at an affordable price.
Awesome place to learn about k.d.h.p history
It was good experience. Staff was nice and we came to know how tea production works. We tried ripple tea taste was good. We bought around 8 types of different tea. As there was offer to buy 3 get 1 free. So 2 out of 8 tea products were free. It is worth to buy there to give it a try for once. Thanks
It was good and informative and you can take photos without any charge and purchase different Tea Varieties and have a good Tea As well.
Incredible experience to walk through a live tea factory being shown every single step from leaf to brew. The workers provide you samples at each stage to compare the process from the last step. I would definitely reccommend this experience. There is a large tea shop at the end of the museum which is quite touristy. The tea available there can be bought at normal shops in the area so be careful of costs.
An ok place to visit..more of a mini factory and sales outlet than a museum, though. You can see how the tea leaves are processed into dust..also choose from a variety of tea products on display. The museum also includes a short video presentation in addition to display of some antique factors and office equipments.
The entry fee is high compared to other places. They show interesting but bit long documentary on tea. If you interested in knowing the history of tea, then must visit place, otherwise you can drop this from your itinerary. You can see the process of making different grades of tea. Ancient telephones and typewriters are also showcased. You can also buy variety of tea and chocolates. The price is reasonable compared to market.
The property is very well built and the rooms are quite spacious with a beautiful balcony. The staff is also very polite and happy to help. The only downside i feel is that it is not exactly in the main market area and the restaurant have very few veg options. If you have a vehical with you than its more than value for money because there is a restaurant around 600m from hotel named Sangeetha and serves very tasty veg food. Highly recommended
Digital Payment 💳Parking ✅
It will give you a quick overview of Munnar history and tea powder making process. Documentary is very informative. However the hefty entry fee, Rs.125, is not justifiable and they are using this as a marketing platform for Ripples tea powder, a Tata product.
Informative documentary and walkthrough of tea manufacturing process.
Good place to know about the tea and its history.
They screen a movie of 25 minutes length explaining the history of tea industry in Kerala. You can purchase tea and coffee from the store located within. Beautiful demonstration of entire process of tea making. It is also home to a museum which displays old typewriter, calculator, phones and other gadgets of yesteryear! Tea garden outside can be a place where you can have your selfie time!
Only people who really interested to know about tea only visit
Lovely day baby
If someone is looking out for knowing the evolution of Tea in India this is the best place to visit. Well preserved antiques n museum staff are so courteous n proactive in explaining each n everything about history of Tea, They have a store too housing different types of Tea products and home made chocolates which are very tasty. White Tea is available at this place which is of premium quality.
Super climate
See how the tea is made. Buy all forms of tea, artifacts and enjoy the tea garden landscape. Get to know about the right way to use green tea and enjoy its benefits. You have to be attentive through the 5 minute very interesting lecture.
Nice views. Natural beauty all around
We can see the history of munnar and hou a tea leaf become tea powder process as live.. this is one of the major destinations in munnar. the tea musium lies under ripple tea. dont miss this place while you are in munnar. theticket charge is 120/ person
The museum is located at the Nallathanni Estate of Tata Tea in Munnar and it is awesome visit. It is situated in Idukki district. It is established in 1st April 2005. It is 4km from munnar town. The museum is open from 9 am to 4 pm. It is closed Monday and holidays
Tata Tea Museum, also known as KDHP Museum, is located at 2 km from the centre of Munnar. It is a part of the Nallathanni Estate of Tata Tea. This museum stands as a tribute to all the pioneers of tea plantations of Munnar. Tourists visiting here get to know about the establishment and progress of the tea plantation industry in India. You can gain insights about the processing of tea leaves and the marketing of the finished product. They also have an orthodox tea manufacturing unit and a mini CTC to demonstrate differential stages of tea processing. At the entrance of the Tata Tea Museum, there’s a grand 1913 made granite sundial. In the end, do not forget to visit the demonstration room of this Tata Tea Museum. Here, you will get to taste various different types and flavours of tea. This demonstration is scheduled twice daily in the morning at 10:30 am and in the afternoon at 02:30 pm.
The museum opens at 10 AM till 5 PM. The entry ticket is INR 125 and we can get a very good understanding of tea making process over here. You have a documentary shown after your entry, and the documentary shown is worth. Don’t miss the documentary show. After that there are old things showcase is available to see and take the photos. Also they give information about tea making and all. They will guide you with the benefits of green tea. Its a learning experience for sure that you learn about the tea making process and how to make better tea at home but at the same time. But the way the person was explained, is not at all good and he is not much professional. Need to improve lot more. Various types of tea is available for purchase in the out let. No free tea tasting after the visit.
The Museum is closed at the moment. The employees of the museum said it is likely to be opened only on the 16th of November.
Very nice museum
Good time pass... One time visting is good... Second time might be bored... U can get a good knowledge how the tea is produced... N the museum is filled with some antique equipments which was very nice to sea...Tea outlets inside help to u buy orignal tea with the best price... Over all a very gud place... Worth for money... Suggesting to add more fun stuffs...
Not bad......
Dont go to this tea museum. It is not a original factory, its a demo factory. There is not such thing to see so. If you want to just go for it means you can otherwise dont waste Ur valuable time in your vacation or romantic or honeymoon time. Here some photos I will upload these are the thing only here. U can see here itself by the photos.
