Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon, is renowned for its tea industry. Ceylon tea is recognized globally for its quality and flavor. Sri Lanka is the world’s 4th largest producer of tea and close to one million people are employed in the trade directly or in directly.
First introduced by James Taylor in 1867, now Sri Lanka has 200,000 hectares of tea.
Visiting a tea factory during travels is a great way to learn more about tea and even taste a cup from the estate itself. The lush green landscapes, rolling hills, and neatly manicured rows of tea bushes create a picturesque setting for hiking and trekking in Sri Lanka. Enjoy nature, interact with tea pickers and locals while trekking is one of the best ways to experience Sri Lanka.
