Il programma nel dettaglio

Explore a lesser-known tea plantation and factory not far from Galle and take a trip through tea production from the plantation's pathways to leaf processing.
Meet your host early morning or late afternoon and walk amongst rolling hills of tea bushes guided past verdant leaves. Hear of the intricacies of tea growth, and its history in Sri Lanka, and look out for plants and wildlife such as peacocks, lemongrass, and versatile jackfruit. In the morning you are more likely to see brightly clad pickers hypnotically selecting leaves by hand from hidden paths between bushes. Down in the factory, witness the next steps in the leaf's passage to your cup as leaves transform from jade to brown. Follow the flow of the leaves and pinafore-clad ladies, enveloped by the unmistakable smell of tea at each stage. The experience includes a dedicated host who will accompany you throughout the tour. The duration of the tour is approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, including a 30-minute walk. It is recommended to take the tour in the morning to witness the factory in full activity. While older children can enjoy the tour, it may be more suitable for them due to the nature of the experience. To ensure your comfort and protection from the elements, we recommend wearing light clothing, a hat, and closed-toe shoes. Bringing along these items will contribute to a pleasant experience.
