Tea Plucking & Tea Factory: Tour From Kandy

Experience the art of tea plucking and learn about the process of tea production on a guided tour of a tea plantation. Visit a tea factory and taste a variety of teas.
As the sun rises over the rolling hills of Kandy, begin an adventure. Meet a guide who will lead you through a sensory journey. Stop at a lush tea estate and don a traditional woven basket to join the skilled tea pluckers. Feel the dew-kissed leaves between your fingers as you carefully select the freshest tips.

Learn about the delicate balance of sun, rain, and altitude that gives Ceylon tea its distinctive flavor. Discover the different grades of tea—whether it’s the prized “orange pekoe” or the robust “broken leaf.” As you pluck, gain newfound respect for the hardworking hands that shape Sri Lanka’s tea legacy.

Next, venture to a charming tea factory nestled amidst the hills. Step inside to witness the alchemy: withering, rolling, oxidation, and drying. Marvel at the vintage machinery that stands as a testament to tradition.

In a cozy tasting room, sample a variety of teas. From delicate white tea to robust black tea, your palate will dance with flavors. Learn how to appreciate the nuances—notes of caramel, floral undertones, and hints of citrus.

Before bidding farewell to this tea-scented haven, explore the quaint tea shop. Choose from an array of teas—packaged beautifully to share with loved ones or keep as a cherished memory.
