When we found a tea factory that was open to the public to visit we were therefore first in the queue to find out more about how tea leaves become tea. In fact as you will see from our picture we were there before the gates opened (yes you do have to look quite hard to see us but we are there).
We thought the Connemara tea factory sounded a bit Irish but it was definitely tea they were making not Guinness! It was a very noisy, dusty and hot process and we were a bit intrigued by all the fermentation going on - we didn't think tea had an alcoholic content!
Sadly there wasn't any tea sampling at the end of the visit but we did know a lot more about manufacturing tea than when we started.
Lots of love, George & Yorkie xxx

I was recently fortunate in being able to visit the Connemara Tea Factory and, like the Bears, was disappointed that we did not have a sampling. However, I brought home a couple of kilos and am still able to enjoy a wonderful cup of 'Irish' Indian Tea.
How nice to hear from a fellow Keralan traveler. We hope you enjoyed Kerala as much as we did! (Especialy the food!) Did you manage to see a Tiger or Elephant in the game park?
Love George and Yorkie xxx
