Travel through rolling tea hills to reach Lipton’s Seat, one of Sri Lanka’s most iconic viewpoints. This is where Sir Thomas Lipton used to survey his vast plantations—and today, it offers a sweeping panorama over emerald estates, valleys, and distant peaks. The journey continues to the Dambatenne Tea Factory, built in 1890 and still active today. You’ll see how freshly plucked leaves are processed, dried, and graded, then enjoy a cup of tea right where it all began.
