Experience Gatura Greens Purple Tea Farm Tour, with tea and biscuits while the host gives an informal history about the farm, followed by an introductory tea tasting before we head out to the purple tea farm.

This tea will then be taken back to the farm where guests will be taught how to make their very own speciality orthodox tea (this includes learning to roast it, roll it by hand, dry it then pack it for themselves to take home).
