What you can expect

Begin your journey among endless rows of neatly trimmed tea bushes carpeting the hillsides. As you stroll through the plantation, learn about the different tea varieties, how altitude and climate influence flavor, and why Sri Lanka produces some of the finest teas in the world.

Next, join the tea ladies for an interactive tea-plucking session. Dressed in their traditional attire, they demonstrate the age-old technique of selecting only the finest “two leaves and a bud.” Try your hand at plucking, gaining a real appreciation for the skill, speed, and care required to harvest tea leaves by hand—a tradition that has remained largely unchanged for over a century.

Then, step inside a working tea factory for a guided tour that reveals the fascinating journey of tea from freshly plucked leaf to finished product. Expert guides explain each stage of the process in detail, including withering, rolling, fermenting, drying, and sorting.

Finally, enjoy a tea tasting session, sampling a selection of different tea grades and styles. Learn how to identify subtle differences in aroma, strength, color, and finish. From brisk and bold to smooth and fragrant, each cup reflects the unique terroir of the Hill Country. and if you like to buy some fresh tea from the factory you can buy also
