The tea estates of Nuwara Eliya are among the most beautiful and iconic landscapes in Sri Lanka. Stretching across misty hills and rolling valleys, these lush green plantations create a peaceful and refreshing atmosphere that attracts visitors from around the world.

A visit to a tea estate allows you to witness the traditional process of tea plucking, where skilled workers carefully hand-pick fresh leaves. Many estates also offer guided factory tours, where you can learn how Ceylon Tea is produced—from leaf to cup—followed by a tasting session of freshly brewed tea.

Walking through the plantations is a truly relaxing experience, with cool mountain air, scenic viewpoints, and endless photo opportunities. Popular estates such as Pedro Tea Estate and nearby factories are easily accessible from Nuwara Eliya, making them ideal for a half-day excursion.

For guests staying with Wecay Holidays, exploring a tea estate is a wonderful way to connect with Sri Lanka’s rich heritage, natural beauty, and world-famous tea culture.
