Home of the globally famous Ceylon Tea, Sri Lanka has a rich tradition when it comes to this revitalising beverage. Introduced during British colonial rule, tea is grown mainly in the mountainous central region at places like Nuwara Eliya; sightseeing at this destination includes exploring tea plantations where you can gain insights into the popular black tea variety. At hotels like the “Safe & Secure” certified Heritance Tea Factory (in a converted 19th-century tea factory), you can even learn the art of tea plucking and tea tasting when it comes to black tea. Of course, the island produces other types too such as green, white, silver tips and butterfly pea tea each with different flavours and characteristics.
