Water powered Local Tea Factory

From Leaf to Cup, Driven by Water and Tradition

Nestled amidst lush hills and local plantations, this Water‑Powered Tea Factory Tour offers a uniquely hands-on look at Sri Lanka’s heritage. Using energy from mountain-fed water wheels, the factory processes fresh-picked tea leaves through traditional steps—wither, roll, ferment, dry, and grade—with minimal electricity. You’ll walk through scented estates, learn from a factory manager, participate in tea plucking, and finish with a tasting session beneath natural canopy. This isn’t just a factory tour—it’s a story of how water, skill, and community make Ceylon tea unlike any other.
