We did the handmade tea tour today and it was thoroughly excellent from start to finish. First we went into the tea plantations and learnt all about the history of tea, how tea is produced and the leaf picking process. Then we got to have a go ourselves which was a lot of fun. We got to then make our own tea, we had a factory tour and then we got to taste them all. It was great and we learnt so much from our amazing tour guide, Parami. Parami was so lovely and attentive, she was an excellent guide and helped us so much with the tea. We learnt so much from her and would thoroughly recommend tours with her. She is excellent. Thank you very much for a lovely morning!

Sallay was our guide and he rocked it! He was very nice, gave a good explanation about the tea picking and made very beautiful pictures. A day to remember!

The tour was an amazing experience! We had the chance to explore the tea plantation, pick our own tea leaves, and go through the entire tea-making process hands-on. It was both educational and great fun! Nethmi took excellent care of us throughout the tour. She was incredibly knowledgeable, and her warm personality made the experience even more enjoyable. Her lovely voice and engaging storytelling kept us captivated, and she made the tour extra fun by quizzing us along the way! It was a great way to keep us involved and make learning about tea even more interactive. Getting to make our own tea from start to finish was a highlight—it really gave us a deeper appreciation for the craft and effort that goes into every cup. A fantastic experience and highly recommended for anyone interested in tea! Well done to Nethmi and the whole team!

Amazing place, mind stopping scenery all around. You will learn so much and never complain tea is expensive in a shop... the manufacturing process is extraordinary. Very good guides, very good English, most obliging. You will need taxi or tuk tuk to get here.

Fantastic experience with Sallay doing the tea picking tour! First he explained all about the types of tea, how it is picked and the process to make it which was so interesting. Then you get to walk through the field and pick your own leaves, Sallay was so nice and even took pictures for us (which were incredible btw). Then he takes you up to the cafe to taste different teas, which was such a great way to learn about your personal flavour profile. Afterwards you can enjoy the breathtaking view with a pot of their delicious tea, which is very fairly priced. We didn't pre-book and only had to wait about 20 minutes for the next tour which was fine. They do not hard-sell you to buy teas and Sallay was so friendly. Thank you for the great experience!

Absolutely fantastic experience and Susantha was the best guide. Great plantation tour and tasting, very knowledgeable

The tour was great fun! Nethmi looked after us for our time while we picked tea and made our own brew! She was very knowledgeable and fun company. A real asset to the Tea Factory team. Well done Nethmi

It was awesome!! We learned a lot and had a great time! We also had a delicious tea tasting and could try different flavors!

Very interesting compact tour, where our guide Susantha explained how tea is plucked in the fields, and we could even try to do it ourselves. At the end we could taste the different tea varieties

Thank’s to Nethmi for the expérience !! It was so cool to make our Green tee with her ! And after we finished drinking our tee !

Fun and informative tour and good value for money. We did the plantation tour so we learned a lot about the different tea leaves and what leaves can make what kind of tea from green or white tea to English breakfast tea. Our tour guide Sallay was incredibly knowledgeable and also funny which made the information easier to digest. We got the opportunity to try our hand at picking some tea leaves using the traditional woven baskets which provided some entertainment but also demonstrated the tough job of the tea farmer out in the hot sun. After we got to try the different teas and see which one we liked most which really completed the whole experience. Would highly recommend going here!

Interesting tour of tea plantation including some tea plugging. The planting and harvesting of tea is very well explained. The tour includes some tea testing.

Sally is an exceptional guide for the tea plantation tour. He has an impressive knowledge of the history, cultivation, and production of tea, which he shares with passion and enthusiasm. His explanations are clear and engaging, making the whole experience both educational and enjoyable. Beyond his expertise, Sally is incredibly kind and helpful. He always takes the time to answer all questions, ensuring that everyone feels included and well-informed. His warm and friendly personality creates a welcoming atmosphere, making the tour even more special. If you’re visiting the plantation, I highly recommend taking a tour with Sally—he truly makes the experience unforgettable!

We really enjoyed our tea plantation tour with Mr Sallay. He was very knowledgeable and we learned so much about the tea harvesting process. The scenery around the factory/plantation is so beautiful and we enjoyed trying some different types of tea at the sky cafe after the tour. As Sallay says, drink more tea!

We had a good experience. Sallay our guide was able to share his knowledge about tea with us. he made us experience the daily life of tea pickers. A hard but realistic experience. we recommend this tour with Sallay.
