Kanan Devan Tea Museum
From Munnar Town boarded a autorickshaw and on a fare or Rs 50 headed to " Munnar Tea Museum", India's first tea museum.The museum is owned and managed by " Kanan Devan Hills Plantations Private Limited " and entrance fee was Rs 125.Excellent World class museum having separate sections in different rooms each explaining a different topic .Most importantly is the history of Munnar and its development as a tea production centre showcasing the history of tea cultivation in Munnar since 1876 when tea was first planted in this tea plantation district. On display are several rare artefacts and curios as well as evocative photographs from an era long forgotten and of which few are aware.

Interesting visit!
I visited the factory yesterday and really enjoyed it. The guide was very informative, friendly and spoke good English. He took the time to explain the process of tea production and answer any questions I had. The Perspex windows are a little dusty, which is to be expected in this type of factory, also you are not allowed into the actual production areas, which is understandable due to safety. Even though the windows were a bit dirty, I managed to get some reasonable photos. There is a place where you can buy a small cup of tea. If they included a sampling opportunity for those on the tour of all of the different teas, it could be a good marketing opportunity! There is a shop where you can buy the teas at a good price. I was told by a friend that it’s cheaper to buy here than at the tea museum (if you go there).
