Kandy
I’ve picked the tea plantation tours around Kandy where the factory is actually running. Mornings are best, when the withering and rolling machines are working; afternoons often mean an empty shed. Kandy grows mid-country tea, softer than the high-grown leaf from Nuwara Eliya.
Lose yourself in the beauty of Nuwara Eliya on a day tour from Kandy, where the Ambuluwawa Tower and a tea factory await - but the real adventure lies beyond.
