About the Visit & Tour of Bois Chéri + Optional Lunch

Level up your Mauritius experience with a tea-riffic adventure at Le Domaine de Bois Chéri! Think lush green escapes, digging into the island's tea history (wilder than you think!) and learning about tea production. The real prize? Tasting some pure Mauritian tea so good, you'll forget about those fancy cocktails.

A guide will lead you through the factory and the tea plantation, allowing you to discover the history, stories and tales of the Bois Chéri and the importance of tea production in Mauritius. It will also increase your knowledge about the different stages of production of the tea-making process: from picking to packaging, withering, fermentation, drying and sieving.

After the guided tour of the tea factory, you will visit the tea production museum and learn more about the history of tea in Mauritius.

Bois Chéri also offers an array of flavoured teas, green teas, and herbal infusions, all available for tasting during your visit.  

And since you're bound to be hungry after the visit, we offer you the chance to book an optional lunch at Le Bois Chéri restaurant for just a small supplement! We highly recommend booking in advance to secure your spot.

Don't miss the chance to capture breathtaking panoramic views of southern Mauritius from Bois Chéri. Remember to bring your camera to capture lasting memories of this remarkable vista.
