I visited Glenloch Tea Factory. It was a good experience to understand how tea is manufactured. Factory Engineer and Supervisor Mrs. Jeevani has demonstrated the complete tea manufacturing process excellently. From welcoming to explaining process and equipments and tea products with sample tastes, it was a wonderful experience. Thank you very much to all the staff!!

My wife and I are Sri Lankan and a colleague/friend of ours visited Sri Lanka while we were there, so we took him to see Glenloch. He got a tour of the factory and the nice lady showed him the process the tea goes through after it’s plucked to the point it is packaged. He also was able to try tea plucking. This is a very nice place to visit and learn about Ceylon tea. They also allow you to taste many types of tea. They have the largest selection of teas for purchase that I’ve ever seen in one location in Sri Lanka. I really liked their tea shop because in one place we could purchase every type of tea we wanted. I will bring many of our friends who are visiting from the USA to see Glenloch. We had a good time here.

Came here with Mercury holidays as part of our tour of Sri Lanka. It was a Monday so one of the production lines wasn’t working. No problem, our lady guide was very precise in her explanation of how they produce tea, we had a go at “ picking” , had a taste and obligatory stop at the shop! My only complaint per say would be the shop could do with smaller “gift” boxes of tea, we did find a couple of small ones, but I like to buy for gifts and they were still a little big for my liking. Enjoyed the tour.

Glenloch Tea Factory offers an interesting tour of tea production, from cultivation to drying and packing. The tour is FREE and provides a great opportunity to learn about Sri Lanka's tea industry. The factory also has a gift shop where visitors can purchase tea. It would have been great to have gift box sets to bring to Friends & Family back home. The sets they have are BIG (= expensive) or do not have Glenloch packaging (it looks like tea box bought from any supermarket... no gift worthy)

The tour around the factory was fantastic. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. We tasted several types of tea afterwards and had some lovely cake. Whilst the shop was filled with many types of tea and beautiful tins, it was disappointing to find out that they were much more expensive than a supermarket. We thought buying directly from the factory was a cost efficient option. You can buy these tins from supermarkets as a hugely discounted rate.

We were part of a group and had a very interesting visit around the Glenloch estate & factory. Our guide was very knowledgable and gave us an interesting & informative tour of the factory which was very detailed. We visited the plantation where we picked some leaves. A great experience. The tea tasting experience was enjoyable and there was no rush. We visited the boutique which is quite expensive but again, any purchases were our own choice. An experience worth repeating.
