The Tea Story: Full Day with Lunch at Domaine de Bois Chéri, Mauritius

Tea - this drink runs in the veins of Mauritians. The history of tea in Mauritius dates back to 1890. The first seeds of tea have been introduced from Sri Lanka (Ceylon) in 1886. Tea, before being in the cups, is a real work of art that requires hard work and sacrifice.

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. Being one of the most ancient tea plantations on the island, Le Domaine de Bois Chéri offers “Zistwar Dité”, which is an exclusive adventure. Follow the footsteps of the tea pickers across the fields, participate in the plucking activities and witness the process of tea making. A tea tasting will be done at Le Chalet du Domaine de Bois Chéri, overlooking Le Lac des Cygnes du Domaine de Bois Chéri. A tea-based lunch is served in Le Bois Chéri Restaurant which has a panoramic view on the south east coast of our island. Come and experience a unique and immersive moment!
