You can visit wonderful tea gardens and taste tea. There are short tours in the factory where you can see the tea production step by step, and there is a free tea tasting at the end of the tour. There is also a sales office where you can buy gift tea.

Unlike the Damro plantation you have to pay for a factory tour - which wasn’t actually productive at the time of our visit , just running the sizing side of the process. We waited an age in the foyer for any instructions on where and when the tour would start. The lady who finally showed up led us off in too large a group size - such that only those directly next to her could hear her.

We were staying local to Pedro Tea Estate and visited one afternoon. Firstly we were offered free roaming of the tea plantation and walked down to near the lake, then had a complimentary tea & a tour. Hashini was very knowledgeable & explained the process very well. Photos were not allowed inside however the outside was very scenic. At the end, you could buy some of the tea made, which I assume is where revenue comes in. Overall I’d definitely recommend this experience!

The young lady guide was pleasant but the factory tour showed how many manual processes are yet to be automated. The newest machines seemed to be from 1986. As the factory operates between midnight and 0600 hours when the area is at its coolest, all we could watch was a couple of workers separating picked tea leaves as well as others carrying heavy bundles between sites. Some visitors went down a hill to see how an employee picks the leaves. It needs skill, and constant avoidance of thorns. Not a job I'd have ever enjoyed, especially given the midday heat. The gift shop was the focus of the estate. Along with a cup of tea it concluded the experience.

Great experience. 500LKR/pax for an interesting tour around the tea factory (photos prohibited) and a complimentary cup of tea. 1000LKR/pax to have a practical demo of tea picking, and 15/20 minutes to try it out yourself. 1100LKR/pax for tea tasting. Overall, a cheap and fun afternoon out!

We were staying in Nuwara Eliya for a couple of days and wanted to visit a tea plantation and this was recommended by the hotel (Grand). We took a Tuk-tuk from the hotel and the driver waited for us while we did the tour (approx 45 minutes in total including time to drink and buy tea). Very informative tour with a chance to see production from start to end with a good tour guide who was keen to answer questions. Great selection of tea to buy with a good explanation of what you are buying. We brought lots back. This felt like a much more local experience than the commercial plantation that we stopped at on our way out of Nuwara. So would definitely recommend this - local, less expensive and felt a bit more real.

We loved the explanation as part of the tea factory visit, they charged us 500LKR per person for the tour however we weren’t told the factory is under renovation. There was construction and civil work happening inside the factory and we couldn’t see the entire process. When I made the suggestion to the front desk staff that they could have told us about the work happening inside, they said yes reluctantly! Cup of tea served after the tour was delicious.
