Munnar is one of the most beautiful places in Kerala. Munnar is also known for its tea plantations. The tea museum at Munnar showcases and highlights some of the fine and fascinating aspects on the evolution and growth of tea plantations in this part of Kerala. Tata Tea has opened the tea museum at Munnar. The tea museum houses photographs, curious and machineries. Each of them depicts a turning point in the flourishing tea industry in the region. The museum, set up at the Nallathanni Estate of Tata Tea in Munnar, is truly a tribute to the hard work and rigors of the pioneers and leaders in this field.

The museum is an effort to salute the visionaries who showed great acumen and determination to transform Munnar into a major tea plantation center of Kerala. The tea Museum meticulously sketches the growth of Munnar tea estates, veritably conveyed through some of the displays like the elementary tea roller to the modern fully automated tea factory. Various stages of tea processing can be learnt here. One can also learn a thing or two about the production of black tea.

Some of the unique items on display at the museum are the original tea roller, dating back to 1905, the 'Pelton Wheel' used in the power generation plant in the 1920s; a rail engine wheel of the Kundale Valley Light Railway that shuttled men and material between Munnar and Top. A section of the tea museum also houses classic bungalow furniture, wooden bathtub, typewriters, iron oven, magneto phone, manual calculators etc of the yester years.
