Known the world over for its famed and delicious Ceylon tea, the enchanting island of Sri Lanka is one of the leading manufacturers of tea in the world. When visiting such areas as the central region on your Sri Lanka travel excursions you will come across mountain slopes covered in lush green tea plantations which add to the area’s charm. A great way to explore such parts of the country is to sign up for Sri Lanka tours offered by such reputable names as Jetwing Travels which take you to some of the island’s best sites of interest.
The production of tea is mainly centred around the mountainous central region where the cool temperatures are ideal for the growing of such tea varieties. Introduced by British colonial rulers, tea soon became one of the main contributors to the economy. Kandy and Nuwara Eliya are two main regions where tea is grown, while Sabaragamuwa, Uda Pussellawa and Dimbula are also where one will find tea plantations. Look to visit one of the local plantations where you can see tea pluckers in action and if you get the chance to see tea being produced.
