Ceylon Tea Experience Excursion, 08:30 – 10 April

Ceylon Tea Experience

Embark on a two hour scenic drive to Ingiriya, a lush region boasting ideal conditions
for growing tea and rubber. Considered one of the finest teas in the world, Ceylon tea
has been produced in Sri Lanka since the crop was first introduced in 1867. During
this tour, you’ll discover the history of tea and its unique journey from the tree to your
cup.

Upon arrival at Ingiriya, you’ll receive a special welcome with garlands made from tea
leaves before visiting the tea plantation to watch the tea being hand-picked from the
plant. If the conditions are right you might also be able to see the rubber tapping
process as well.

Proceeding to the tea factory, you’ll be able to watch the hand-picked tea crop being
graded, before going through the many different stages involved in quality tea
production. No artificial ingredients are ever added at any stage of the manufacturing
process.

After your fascinating insight into tea production, relax and enjoy the distinct flavour of
a refreshing cup of pure Ceylon tea.
