Description
Treat yourself to Labookellie's tea cake - a local favourite found nowhere else in Sri Lanka - then enjoy a free tea tasting inside the working factory, with views over the tea estate.
Labookellie is one of the most well-known tea factories in Sri Lanka's hill country, sitting right along the road between Nuwara Eliya and Nanu Oya. On this visit, you'll walk through the working factory and see how fresh tea leaves are turned into the Ceylon tea sold around the world - from withering and rolling to drying and grading.
Afterwards, settle in for a complimentary tea tasting, with the estate's rolling green hills right outside. And before you leave, make sure to try Labookellie's tea cake. It's become something of a local legend - moist, buttery, and made to a recipe you won't find at any other factory or cafe on the island.
This visit is simple and unhurried, a nice stop if you're already exploring the hill country around Nuwara Eliya. No pre-booking hassle, no long commitment - just good tea, good views, and a slice of cake worth the trip.
