Who Should Choose a Tea Estate Stay?

A tea estate stay can work well for different types of travellers.

(i) Tea Lovers
You can finally see where the tea in your cup comes from. You can also understand tea plucking, tea processing, factory work and tea tasting more closely.

(ii) Couples
Heritage bungalows and smaller tea estate properties can offer more privacy and quieter surroundings than large hotels.

(iii) Families
Children and younger travellers can learn about tea plants, agriculture, factories, rivers, forests and wildlife during the same trip.

(iv) Senior Travellers
Tea estate stays can suit travellers who prefer quieter surroundings and less crowded places. Before booking, you should check walking distance, stairs, road conditions and access to basic medical facilities.
