Working estate visits led by planters rather than guides, tracing the full production journey from the two-leaf-and-a-bud plucking standard through withering, rolling, and drying to a curated tasting session that makes the differences between elevations, processing methods, and grades immediately tangible. The high-grown Nuwara Eliya and Dimbula estates produce some of the world’s most distinctive teas, and the experience of understanding why is genuinely one of the island’s most satisfying.
