The tea estates around Coonoor are the region's defining landscape, and the Highfield Tea Factory (and similar estates) offer guided tours explaining plucking and processing, ending with tasting and the chance to buy fresh Nilgiri tea. A walk among the neatly clipped bushes is a quintessential Coonoor experience.
