A properly guided visit to a working Ceylon tea estate – walking the plantation rows at picking time, visiting the colonial-era factory through each stage of production from withering to grading, and concluding with a comparative tasting of fresh estate grades – is one of the most genuinely informative and enjoyable travel experiences available in the Sri Lanka highlands. Flight Ceylon Tours arranges estate visits in the Nuwara Eliya, Hatton, and Haputale regions.
