Tea Museum (Ripple Tea) offers an informative and engaging experience for visitors interested in tea and its heritage. The entry fee is ₹150 for adults and ₹75 for children above 6 years.
Inside the museum, visitors can learn about the history of tea cultivation in Munnar and watch a documentary explaining the journey of tea from leaf to cup. A small-scale CTC production line is displayed, including rolling tables, a fermenting unit, a fluidized bed dryer, and a sorting machine—designed to give a brief glimpse into factory operations.
The museum also showcases antique furniture from old tea estate bungalows, reflecting the traditional tea garden lifestyle. An in-house shop sells a variety of Ripple Tea (popular among locals), along with coffee, spices, incense sticks, and other products. There is also a tasting counter where visitors can sample different tea flavours.
Overall, it is a worthwhile stop for tea enthusiasts and anyone curious about Munnar’s tea culture. ☕🌱
