  We visited here. The usual tourist focused trappings. After tasting the tea, we ordered two packets of the more expensive strong tea. It was a mistake that we did not open the packages to see what we got was what we paid for. Big mistake! On return home we were disappointed to see that the tea bags contained the inferior tea while we paid for the expensive variety. Check what you get before you leave!! The attractive packing is deceptive

  A tour around the factory will give you an idea of how tea is still produced, which hasn't changed much over the decades. I was proud to see much of the British engineered machines still chugging away after 100 years of use. Victorian, over-engineering at its best. At the end of the tour we sampled a range of different strength teas, which was nice. If the tour would have been more concise and the choice of teas to purchase wider, this would have been a perfect addition to our tour.

  I think this is typical place where your driver will stop and says this is a place you need to see with real tea production. IMHO the factory isn't really used and all tea leaves only were there for decoration. Sadly our tour guide was a novice and could not speak good English. He rushed through the compound barely explaining everything. In the final selling area you were offered all different Sri Lankan teas to sell you high priced teas in the end. Luckily there was another guide around who was able to explain much more so it turned out to be ok in the end. We also bought some tea (credit cards accepted) but as said for quite a high price and I cannot really say if it is worth the money. I could have skipped it all ...

  Location is brilliant. The time you land you are taken on a factory tour by their representatives who are mostly females. You are shown what seems to be sample tea plantation & production area which itself is very small. We were told that this is a running factory & machines here are in use for production but as per there condition & appearance they seemed just for demo only. Finally you are taken to an area where you presented with different kind of tea varieties to taste & buy if you like. This impresses many like me. But for me prices here quite expensive which almost defeats the purpose of visit.
