Tea Story Experiences
More than a brew – Discover the people, places, and stories behind every sip
Step into the rolling green hills of Wayanad and Idukki, where mist drapes over endless rows of tea bushes and the scent of fresh leaves floats through the air. Ekathra’s Tea Story Experience invites you to explore this enchanting landscape—not just as a visitor, but as a curious traveller eager to understand the many layers that lie behind each cup of tea.
Begin your journey by trekking or cycling through the tea country, with panoramic views that shift from sunrise-kissed plantations to serene forest edges alive with birdsong. Along the way, meet the women who bring these hills to life—tea pluckers whose rhythmic movements and deep connection to the land form the heartbeat of this industry. A visit to their village offers a glimpse into the strength and resilience of these communities, their everyday lives, culture, and the challenges they face.
The experience also takes you inside local tea factories, where the story of tea unfolds in full—from the plucking and withering to the rolling, drying, and grading. Witness this age-old process firsthand and engage in tea tasting sessions that explore the subtle flavours, aromas, and artistry behind every blend.
