If you like tea and want to know more about its history and production process, it is worth taking a tea plantation tour in Sri Lanka. There are dozens of factories in Sri Lanka that you can visit for free or for a small fee. A visit to a tea factory in Sri Lanka allows you to see, smell, taste, and touch tea at every stage of the manufacturing process and understand why a particular tea tastes that way. Most tours end with tastings of different varieties grown on the plantation.

A typical tea plantation tour will take you through the fields to see how the tea leaves are picked. Then follow the leaves as they pass through the factory. They are washed, dried, and crushed and the final loose tea product is packed in a tea box. It is fascinating to see the tea factory in operation. From processing freshly picked leaves to packaging finished products.

Factory tours usually last about an hour and are also a good opportunity to buy delicious Sri Lankan tea at a very reasonable price. Visits can be arranged at various locations in Hill Country.

You can learn and enjoy tea plucking with the estate workers. This will be an unforgettable experience during your tour in Sri Lanka.
