Le Domaine de Bois Chéri, located on the highlands in the southern part of the island of Mauritius, at nearly 500 metres above sea level, offers ideal climatic conditions for the cultivation of tea. Follow the footsteps of the tea pickers across the fields of the most ancient tea plantation in Mauritius and experience the traditional ways of tea picking.

Upon arrival at the plantation, the group will start tea picking for approximately 20 minutes.
Once the tea picking is done, we will go to L’Usine de Thé de Bois Chéri where all the baskets will be weighed and the tea leaves verified.
