If tea had a homeland, it would be Hatton. The region lies at the center of Sri Lanka’s tea-producing highlands, where manicured plantations blanket the hillsides in every direction. This is where the world-renowned Ceylon Tea earns its reputation for purity, flavor, and aroma.
Visitors can tour historical tea estates such as Norwood, Bogawantalawa, or Dickoya, where you’ll walk through emerald fields, meet tea pluckers at work, and learn how tender leaves become one of the world’s finest brews.
Inside century-old tea factories, massive rolling machines hum and the scent of freshly dried tea fills the air. End your visit with a tea tasting session, sipping golden cups while gazing across hills that seem to roll into the clouds.
It’s more than a beverage — it’s a story of craftsmanship, heritage, and the landscape itself.
