In Munnar, everywhere you go a tea estate will follow you. So, if this gets you curious about the origins of the hot beverage then head to the quaint Tea Museum for a peek into the history and the making of tea. In the front rooms of the museum, you’ll encounter various antiquities from the Munnar of yore. You’ll see an original tea roller from the early 20th century, the Pelton Wheel that was used for power generation and a rail engine that brought people and material back and forth. In the back rooms, you can witness tea being made. Fresh tea leaves going through various processes before being packed up into boxes for supermarket shelves.
