Additional Information

The handmade tea tour comprises three primary experiences. It begins with tea plucking at our tea estate,

When taking the plantation tour, you must participate in the tea-picking session. Before the session, we performed the customary worship of Lord Ganesh at a small kovil close to the plantation.

You will also receive your basket to harvest tea, as well as a small mottu. If you decide to take part in the tea plucking activity, you could perhaps wear the customary tea plucker attire of a wraparound saree or sarong.

followed by a visit to a mini facility where you’ll witness the crafting of handmade tea. Subsequently, we’ll provide a brief overview of the tea-making process at our factory, package your selected tea, and finally, escort you to Sky Cafe where you can do tea tasting.

Make your own tea... - The two-hour tour with Lahiru was informative and fun. There were three of us and we were given comprehensive information, from theory to practice. We had the opportunity to pick tea leaves ourselves and made our own tea manually under supervision. It turned out very tasty. We were also shown the process of making tea using the machines. Thank you, it was a great tour.
