    Second visit to a tea plantation in Sri Lanka. In this one, the speciality is white tea. In particular, a white tea cut by hand. The plantation also allows you to visit rubber tools where you can find out how to harvest the LaTeX. The visit continues with a tasting and the visit strictly speaking of the factory. The support by the guide is perfect with clear explanations.

    Beautiful white tea plantation. There's a guided tour which it's free of charge (which you're often reminded) which is quite informative and includes tea sampling and a cake :-) after that you have a chance to buy some products which is kind of unexpectedly very relaxed with no hard selling. You can also give a tip for the personals working here which should get divided among everyone.. really nice place to visit, best on a motorbike since the roads around have very little traffic and a beautiful countryside.

    Good experience. They explain the process of making tea. You can taste all the varieties and find what you like. Good quality tea.

    The owners of our apartments recommended this place. The excursion around the property is good and free. The tea is nice - you can select any of a few dozens during the degustation. Worth visiting
