    We went there today as it was rainy. It is a small factory with a small museum. We were allowed to watch the packaging of the tea bags. They also have a small shop to buy their products for rather cheap price. Last not least...More

    Closed for 5 months

    Just a few minutes drive from the Mission Lodge. Unfortunately the tea factory is closed till the end of May. We hung around the area though which was worth it due to the pretty views and serenity of surrounding nature.

    No reservation needed for the tour. I was there in May. Tour is self guided. Not much to see. I would skip the tour. They do sell tea which is very good. The view of the coastline alone is worth the stop.
