Benchmark Tea Factory and chocolate factory - Tea Manufacturer in Ooty - The Nilgiris, India

I had a wonderful experience here with my family. The ticket price is about only 10 rs for the tea factory and they provides free tea for everyone and I should say the tea was literally super. Also, we can bring our own snacks like biscuits, rusks etc. It is actually a factory which is very well maintained and the workers were very friendly. We can watch each steps of making tea powder. The journey of tea leaves to the tea powder . There is a fine parking area also. The thing which is attracted me is the view of Ooty city. It was really worth. We can also buy best quality tea powder from there. Also we can shop some clothes and others from here.

Small tea factory made for promotion and sale to tourists, mini tour includes showing process of tea and chocolate making, entry fees is 10rs and parking is free, once you go in you will be coming out of all sales units it's a mini mall, they sell many things along with tea and chocolates. complementary tea is given to taste different flavours of tea. nice business idea.

The best tea in all over Ooty. You can park your vehicle in the first floor parking lot and you wil be provided with paper wrist bands with a barcode number. These barcodes can be used for entry and payment processed done inside the Benchmark tea factory. Per person entry is Rupees 30 INR for entering the factory. If your height is above 139 cms you would be charged an extra 10 rupees INR for entering the first floor to taste the tea types here. Overall it was a good experience and the staff there is also friendly. A must visit location in Ooty.

Few years back it was a nice experience of how tea process and it was accessble inside the factory ... Now they are not allowing tourists inside the factory... just we have to walk across some steps and see the process on posters and we cannot see live processing of tea starring from tea leaves to packets....due to security reason they will not allow inside the factory. Complimentary Tea will be given at the end , wide variety of Tea , chocolates and other oil etc available... Now it's just a shopping mall.. We can get fresh Tea Powder, Chocolates, clothes and other items.

After a tour of the tea factory, they serve tea and then you can shop for tea, chocolates etc. Everything is reasonable and chocolates had huge variety.

One should visit to experience how man made chocolates prepared and how tea would be produced in the factory. Also you will find a good shopping here like all types of chocolates, masala spices, etc.

The tea factory has an absolutely fantastic location. However, once you visit,there is nothing much to do or learn from. They just let you walk through the place and see the machines running. You yourself have to obtain an idea by reading the details mentioned in the posters.. for which they charge a ticket of rs30 for each person. In the end,video of the entire process is kept which gives an insight into different types of tea also . Also complimentary tea is also provided ,that too in different flavours such as lime tea,masala tea,cardomom tea,etc. Stores also provide their products, and the rates are reasonable. The tea is tasty though. The chocolate factory is also similar and they provide large bars of complimentary choclate.
