Highlights
This experience offers a rare, intimate look into the true artistry of Ceylon tea, far removed from crowded factory tours. Instead of watching machines, you learn directly from a master tea taster with over 40 years of expertise, gaining insights usually reserved for industry professionals. The uniqueness lies in its hands-on approach. You don’t just taste tea; you learn how to evaluate it using professional cupping techniques. From assessing colour and clarity to identifying aroma, body, and finish, every step is guided and interactive. Tasting multiple single-estate teas side by side reveals how region, climate, and processing shape flavour. Set in a small-group environment, the session feels personal, allowing open discussion and tailored guidance. It blends history, sensory exploration, and practical skills you can take home. By the end, you’ll understand tea on a deeper level and confidently taste and select it like an expert.

About Colombo
Colombo is Sri Lanka's largest city and commercial capital, where colonial landmarks, Buddhist temples, busy markets and a seafront promenade meet.
Galle Face Green, a long seafront lawn, fills with families, kite flyers and street-food stalls as the sun sets over the Indian Ocean. Nearby, the Fort district keeps colonial buildings such as the Old Dutch Hospital, restored as shops and restaurants, and the red-and-white striped Jami Ul-Alfar Mosque rises over the crowded market streets of Pettah.
Top-ranked sights in Colombo: Gangaramaya Temple, Galle Face Green, Independence Square.
