Ripon Tea Estate

Located about 7 km from Meppadi town, Ripon Tea Estate is one of the more recognized plantations in the area, with rows of tea bushes stretching across the surrounding hills. It is frequently mentioned alongside homestays that use the estate as a scenic backdrop, and informal walks through the property give visitors a closer look at tea cultivation than a roadside drive-by allows. The estate is part of the same tea belt that gives Meppadi its rolling, green character.
