It never occurred to one how that could be best for tours. It seemed even bigger because it was empty when we walked through.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for all the helpful tips. One heard very good things about Makaibari and Castleton, but didn’t have time to visit them.<BR/><BR/>PeaceMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736984697520031171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693176331381554957.post-74864070224884479922009-03-25T08:03:00.000-07:002009-03-25T08:03:00.000-07:00Oh, I loved visiting Goomtea!

If you're interested in organic production, be sure to visit Makaibari, and tell Rajah that Lindsey "Vee" Goodwin sent you. I'm sure he'll show you around. :) The tea research facility in Kurseong is also worth a visit if you're interested in the more technical aspects of tea. And Castleton is cool -- the manager is very friendly. Next time I visit, I really want to see Ambootia, too. Oh, and be sure to eat at the hotel next to Ambootia, just up from Makaibari. It's delicious! I look forward to hearing more about your visit!Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08746905336892298900noreply@blogger.com
