TEA HARVESTING

HISTORY

In 2737 BCE Emperor Shen Nung of China noticed the taste of a bowl of hot water after a tea leaf fell in.

And in 1824 the British brought the first tea plants to Sri Lanka. Planted first in the Peradeniya Royal botanical gardens, tea has had exponential popularity in Sri Lanka and all over the world.

By the year 2000, Sri Lanka was producing 300,000 metric tonnes!

OUR FARMS

It is a splendid sight to wake up to see acres of green tea leaves being hand plucked in the morning.

Out of the 80 species of tea worldwide, we grow V.P tea on contoured terracces and drains to prevent soil erosion.

We also have our own organic farm that grows most of the vegetables that will be served to you during your stay.
