Overview

Your journey begins in the lush green tea hills of Sri Lanka where endless rows of neatly trimmed tea bushes cover the slopes. You will enjoy a guided walk through the plantation while learning how altitude, climate, and soil shape the flavor of Ceylon tea.

Next, you will meet the skilled tea plucking ladies who demonstrate the traditional method of selecting only two leaves and a bud. You will also get the chance to try tea plucking yourself and experience the precision and care needed for this centuries old craft.

After the plantation experience, you will visit a working tea factory. Here you will see the full process of tea production from fresh leaves to finished tea including withering, rolling, fermentation, drying, and sorting.

Finally, enjoy a tea tasting session where you sample different grades of tea. Learn to identify aroma, strength, color, and flavor differences. You will also have the option to purchase fresh tea directly from the factory.
