This unique day tour combines two of Sri Lanka’s most distinctive agricultural traditions – premium tea production and authentic Ceylon cinnamon cultivation – in a single expertly guided experience set within the spectacular scenery of the southern coastal belt. Handunugoda Tea Estate, located near Ahangama, is one of Sri Lanka’s most fascinating private tea producers and the only estate in the world to produce the exceptionally rare Virgin White Tea, a tea plucked exclusively in the misty early morning hours before the sun touches the leaves, producing a flavour of delicacy and refinement. The guided estate tour walks you through every stage of this premium production process before sitting down to a tasting session featuring a curated selection of the estate’s finest teas. The afternoon brings a visit to a cinnamon estate where the skilled art of cinnamon peeling – the patient, hand-worked process that produces Ceylon cinnamon’s characteristic quill shapes – is demonstrated with the pride and precision of generations of expertise.
