We at Bethel Plantations, offer visitors a look into the daily life of a working plantation. From tea plucking on the slopes to guided factory tours, every experience connects you directly to the land and the people who make it thrive.

Tea Plucking

Join our tea pluckers for a hands-on experience in the fields. Visitors wear traditional plucking gear and learn how tea leaves are carefully selected and gathered.

Your harvest will be weighed — just like in the daily routine of our workers — offering a glimpse into the skill and precision behind every kilogram of tea produced.

Highlight: Weigh your harvest and understand the daily work of our tea pluckers

Factory Tour

A guided walk through our tea factory takes you through every stage of processing — from withering troughs to CTC machines, fermenting drums, dryers, and sorting lines.

Learn how fresh leaves become the finished grades of tea that are packed and shipped to buyers across India.

Chayakada

After the tour, visit the Chayakada, our estate tea shop and outlet. Overlooking the plantations, it serves fresh estate tea with local snacks — a quiet spot to pause and take in the landscape.

Visitors can also purchase our teas directly from the factory outlet.

What's Available: Fresh estate tea, local snacks, Bethel Premium Tea packs for purchase
