The much-anticipated reopening of the TATA Tea Museum in Munnar is set for August 8th, 2025, delighting tea lovers and history enthusiasts alike. After its annual maintenance break, the museum will once again invite visitors to step into a world where the legacy of tea comes alive, all while maintaining the accessible entrance fee of ₹150 per person.
Tucked amid the rolling green hills and flourishing tea estates of Munnar, the Tata Tea Museum, established in 2005, serves as a living archive of Kerala’s tea heritage. Guests can traverse the journey of tea, from the pioneering days of British planters in the late 19th century to the transformation of Munnar into a distinguished tea-producing region.
The museum captivates with its display of vintage tea-machinery, evocative photographs, and artifacts, painting vivid scenes of plantation life through the ages.
A visit promises enriching moments: witness first-hand how tea leaves become the world’s favourite brew with live processing demonstrations, savour an array of tea varieties during tasting sessions, and wander through the tranquil tea gardens and colonial bungalows that whisper stories of a bygone era.
As the museum reopens, it offers not just a glimpse into the past, but a celebration of tea’s enduring charm in the heart of Munnar.
