The tea fa ory and tea tasting are... - <p>The tea fa ory and tea tasting are really interesting and well worth doing. The cultivation, production and processing of tea combined with the history in Mauritius makes for a very interesting event and the setting for the tea tasting is spectacular. The Nature Park is a b b it of an add on and is not something I would have put into aa package with the tea Tour.</p>
