Nuwara Eliya, often called 'Little England,' is the heart of Sri Lanka's tea production. At 1,889 meters above sea level, the cool climate and rolling hills provide the perfect conditions for some of the world's finest tea.

Stay in a heritage tea bungalow, where you can wake up to misty views and enjoy a freshly brewed cup of Ceylon tea while watching the pickers at work in the emerald estates.

A visit to a local factory is a must, where you can see the traditional processing methods and learn about the delicate 'two leaves and a bud' philosophy that makes this tea so special.
