Handunugoda Tea Factory

No matter where you are in Sri Lanka, tea is never too far away, and if you love a cup of Ceylon Tea, a visit to a tea plantation and factory is a must, as you travel around the island. The Handunugoda Low Country Tea Plantation and Tea Factory invites you to explore and learn the intricate art of making tea! The estate is most famed for producing the exotic Virgin White Tea. 

Visit the Handunugoda Low Country Tea Plantation and enjoy a stroll through acres of lush tea bushes, before heading back to the antique tea factory to learn how the tea is collected, dried, withered and processed before making its way to your cup. While not a fully-functioning factory, you can still admire the processes and old machinery as most of the factory has been converted to a museum. Tea lovers can even sample a freshly made cup of the best Ceylon tea at the end of their tour. The Handunugoda Low Country Tea Plantation is located in the southern town of Ahangama and can be visited in a few hours. The estate also grows coconut, cinnamon and rubber for visitors to admire!
