Nuwara Eliya, often called “Little England,” is nestled in the central highlands of Sri Lanka and is famous for its lush tea plantations. Visiting a tea factory here offers a deep dive into the country’s iconic tea industry. One of the most popular factories, like Pedro Tea Estate or Blue Field Tea Factory, allows visitors to witness the entire tea-making process — from plucking fresh leaves on the misty hills to rolling, fermenting, drying, and packaging. The cool climate, scenic hills, and aroma of fresh Ceylon tea create an unforgettable sensory experience.
