What you can expect

Full description
Begin your visit with a guided tour through the factory, where experienced staff walk you through each stage of the traditional tea-making process. Observe how freshly harvested tea leaves are carefully withered to reduce moisture, then expertly rolled to release their natural flavours.

Watch as the leaves undergo oxidation—a crucial step that determines the strength, colour, and aroma of the final product. The process continues with drying, sorting, and grading, where teas are classified based on quality and leaf size before being prepared for distribution.

See the machinery in action within a fully operational setting. The rhythmic sounds, the rich aroma of tea leaves, and the sight of skilled workers at every stage create an immersive environment that brings the storey of Ceylon tea to life. Gain not only a visual understanding but also a deeper appreciation of the precision and care that go into every batch of tea produced here.

No visit would be complete without indulging in a tea tasting session. At the factory, you’ll have the chance to sample a variety of freshly brewed Ceylon teas, each offering its own unique flavour profile. From light and floral notes to bold and robust blends, the tasting experience allows you to discover the diversity and quality that make Sri Lankan tea renowned worldwide.

Before you leave, take time to explore the on-site shop, where you can purchase a wide range of premium teas. Whether you’re looking for classic black tea, speciality blends, or beautifully packaged gift sets, the factory store offers something for every tea lover. These make perfect souvenirs or thoughtful gifts, allowing you to bring a piece of Sri Lanka’s tea culture home with you.
