Tea is not just a beverage in Sri Lanka, but a cultural phenomenon with a rich tradition. Rich in antioxidants, tea can improve heart health, boost metabolism, and enhance mental alertness.
Supported by White Peony tea Company our tour offers a deep dive into this heritage, taking you through the breathtaking landscapes of the central highlands where the finest tea is grown.
On this tour, you'll witness the meticulous process of tea production, from the plucking of tender leaves to the intricate steps of withering, rolling, fermenting, and drying.
Our tour provides an opportunity to sample a variety of teas, from robust black teas to delicate green and aromatic white teas, each with its unique flavor profile and health benefits.

Alena Kirnitskaya
CEO, White Peony
Fifteen years ago I went to China for language courses and fell in love with Chinese tea. With a backpack and a camera I started to travel in a search of new varieties, tea plantations and slowly my hobby became a business.
Today White peony is a successful family tea enterprise. On my tea journey I met my husband and we go this way together. Now we supply more than 40 kinds of tea from China, India, Japan and of course Sri Lanka.
You can find our teas in hotels and restaurants throughout Europe. We supply not only tea. We do much more. We perform, explain, train, organize tea tours, recommend and inspire. And we do it all with love!
