Tour a tea factory to learn its history in Kandy

What you'll do

A visit to a tea farm has become a staple of every Sri Lanka travel itinerary and for good reason! Sri Lanka is the fourth largest producer of tea in the world and it spans right back to the beginnings of the British Raj. Learn all about this story of locomotives and a rising industry as you tour a an organic tea farm in the Uva Highlands. Stroll through the fields and see just how much work goes into cultivation - you could even pick a few leaves yourself. Finish off the afternoon with a tasting of four hand-made teas overlooking the picturesque Ella Rock. The optional 'Teaology' experience includes a menu of vegetarian dishes matched with the teas on offer.
