Voyage of Ceylon

Tea Plantation & Hill Country Experience Tour

This immersive tour brings Sri Lanka’s famous tea country to life – moving through the island’s most spectacular highland scenery before arriving at a working tea estate for a guided tour from plucking to brewing. Led by an experienced tea planter, the visit covers every stage of Ceylon tea production, followed by a guided tasting that reveals the remarkable range of flavours produced within these hills. The surrounding scenery – mist-covered ridges and row upon row of immaculate tea bushes – makes the entire experience feel genuinely special.
