Morne Blanc hill and tea factory
Morne Blanc Tea Factory
Seashelles, Mahe
One of the most interesting places in the Seychelles Morne Reserve is the Morne Blanc hill with its tea plantations. Here is the only factory in the Seychelles that produces flavored tea. Most of the tea produced is flavored with vanilla, sometimes lemon, orange, mint and cinnamon are added.
You can climb the hill along the path past the tea terraces to the actual premises of the factory, where tourists will be shown all the stages of tea production. In the souvenir shop at the factory, you can buy various types of tea or a bag of citronella, a local plant whose properties can be compared to the invigorating properties of coffee. There is also a tea tavern at the tea factory, where you can taste all types of tea before buying.
