Journey into the heart of Ceylon tea country in Sri Lanka's emerald highlands. Walk through mist-covered tea gardens, pluck delicate tea leaves with local tea pluckers, tour a historic colonial-era factory, and savor a tea tasting session of world-renowned Ceylon teas.
Sri Lanka's hill country is world-famous as the home of Ceylon Tea — one of the finest and most celebrated tea brands on Earth. Introduced during the 19th century by British pioneer James Taylor, the emerald tea estates blanket undulating mountain slopes, creating breathtaking landscapes of rolling green hills, cascading waterfalls, and crisp mountain air.
A guided tea walk immerses you in the fascinating journey of tea from leaf to cup. Accompanied by experienced estate naturalists, you will walk along narrow trails alongside smiling tea pluckers, learning the delicate 'two leaves and a bud' plucking technique. You will then visit a working vintage tea factory to observe traditional processing stages — withering, rolling, fermenting, drying, and grading.
The experience reaches its crescendo with an exclusive master tea tasting session. Under the guidance of a veteran tea master, you will sample a curated flight of Single Origin Ceylon teas — ranging from light, floral high-grown Silver Tips to full-bodied, golden Dimbula brews — while taking in panoramic views of mist-shrouded valleys and lush plantations.
