Any tea factory has an adjoining bar/shop where you can sip a cup of tea and then buy some tea to bring home. You'll find several types and qualities of tea, but after having visited the factory you'll know which one to get. One funny detail: the really nice packages and baskets contain the lowest quality tea and sells for a high price, while the best quality tea comes in simple wrapping at a very low price. Yet you'll be amazed at how many peopel still go for the fancy wrapping

What to buy: tea - of all sorts - and tea products

What to pay: 6 dollars for 1 kilo of top quality tea - more for one kilo of lower quality (yes, nonsense, I know)

Address: nuwara eliya
Directions: hill country
Theme: Food and Drink

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars
