Spot where Tea-lovers will get to learn how tea is cultivated, picked and packaged
This 250-hectare tea factory and museum is located about 12km north of Rivière des Anguilles amid a vast expanse of cane. Hour-long tours of the tea-processing facility end with a stop at a small exhibition space detailing the island's tea history by means of machines and photos.
Enjoy a beautiful visit to Bois Chéri, the biggest tea producer in Mauritius. Bois Chéri is the first tea plantation in Mauritius and dates back to 1892. Visiting the Bois Chéri Estate is one of the main sites of the Mauritian Tea Route. This is the spot where tea-lovers will get to learn how tea is cultivated, picked and packaged.
You will travel back in history throughout this visit and get a surprising feeling of tranquillity. This visit is a must if you are fond of history and tea, of course
The plantation itself is beyond beautiful, with manicured lawns, hundreds of tree ferns and a big lake (previously a crater), and thousands of tea bushes all neatly planted. There is an explosion of green all around and so spacious!
