Tea Factory Visit - Learn how tea travels from field to cup

Shree Antu is surrounded by tea fields, and you can learn all about tea farming and production on this informative visit to a tea factory. Enjoy tasting some afterwards

After breakfast, depart from the Shree Antu Community Homestay to visit a local tea garden. During your stay in Shree Antu you’re sure to admire the beauty of the cultivated tea fields, and on this morning’s excursion you can delve deeper into the world of Nepali tea. Visiting a local factory, the manager will walk you through all steps of production. While you may have never given much thought to how the green leaf in the field turns into the brown liquid in your cup, during the tour you’ll learn about each step in the process: plucking, withering, rolling, fermenting, drying, sorting, and packing. You’ll see the tea factory workers in action, and get the chance to ask questions. Afterwards, taste a variety of different teas, to learn about the distinct flavors of the different grades and how the various types are graded. (Note that this experience is not available in the winter between mid-November and mid-April.)
