📜 Historical Context

The history of tea in the Nilgiris, where Ooty is situated, dates back to the British colonial era. Experimental tea plantations began in 1835 with seeds brought from China, with botanist George Samuel Perrottet playing a key role in Ketti. The first commercial tea plantation, Coonoor Tea Estate, was established in 1854.

Chinese prisoners of war also contributed significantly to early tea cultivation in the region. The Tea Park itself is a more recent initiative, developed by the Horticulture Department around fifteen years ago, with the aim of educating tourists about the tea-making process and promoting tea as a healthy beverage.
