Why we love it?

At Glenloch Tea Estate, you’ll join estate workers for hands-on tea plucking before touring a nearby tea factory, where traditional machinery from the UK is still in operation. The guided factory visit covers tea cultivation, drying, and packing processes, and allows you to sample popular Ceylon tea flavors like chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and cinnamon. Along the way, you’ll learn about the medicinal uses of Sri Lankan teas and their role in local health practices.
