The Tea Factory & The Tea Museum - Tea Manufacturer in Ooty - The Nilgiris, India

It was my first experience in a tea factory. The moment I stepped inside, the air was filled with the rich, earthy scent of tea leaves. It was like entering a different world dedicated to the art of tea production.Tasting freshly brewed tea straight from the factory was a highlight. The flavors were so pure and intense compared to the usual tea bags I had at home. It was a sensory experience like no other, and I couldn't resist buying some freshly packed tea to take with me.

Doddabetta Tea Factory is among the highest-elevation tea factories of the Nilgiris. The factory was started by N K Krishnamoorthy, who is also considered as an innovator in the tea industry. At the Tea museum, you will find three broad areas of Tea History viz. Origins of world tea, Tea history in India and Evolution of tea in the Nilgiris. Doddabetta tea factory also offers beautiful views of the valley, and mountain peaks. The entire site has total four sections: tea factory, museum, souvenir shops, and the chocolate factory, and it takes around 2 to 2.5 hours to explore entirely. They allow you to see the entire process of tea making and at the end they also give a cup of tea for taste.
