5.00It was a wonderful experience! The trail was very peaceful and the estate is very nicely maintained. The whole tour took around one hour after which we had the opportunity to take part in a tea tasting session where we got to taste around 16 varieties of tea. We gained a lot of knowledge during our walk and the guide was kind enough to clear all our doubts regarding the cultivation and processing activities. I highly recommend taking part in this as it will definitely make your stay worthwhile!
Superb tasting

5.00I recently attended a handmade tea making class at the tea cottage resort and spa in Nawalapitiya, Sri Lanka, and it was such a delightful experience! The setting was beautiful, surrounded by lush greenery, which made the whole process feel even more special. Our instructor was passionate and knowledgeable, guiding us patiently through each step. Making tea from scratch was surprisingly simple and incredibly rewarding. I loved learning about the different types of tea leaves and the right methods to brew them. It was great to sit down afterwards and enjoy the flavors we created together. Overall, I left feeling relaxed and inspired—definitely a highlight of my trip!
