From tea leaf to teacup

Immerse yourself, experience, enjoy! In this extraordinary tea hotel, you will not only stay in a lovingly restored, active production building, but also become part of the magic surrounding Ceylon tea. Amidst green hills, you will pick the delicate leaves early in the morning, observe the bustling activity in the factory, experience quality assurance up close, and sample freshly brewed tea in an exclusive setting. The hotel impresses with its rustic charm and the nostalgic spirit of Sri Lanka’s tea history. Whether you are a tea connoisseur or a curious traveller, this experience opens both the door and the cup to the world of tea.

Sri Lanka is one of the most famous tea-growing regions in the world; for over 150 years, Ceylon tea has shaped the country. Historic factory buildings, often built in colonial style, still connect production with traditional lifestyles today. A hotel located in the midst of an active tea operation is rare – here, guests experience the entire cycle up close: picking, withering, rolling, drying, and enjoying. Architecture, machinery, and tea tasting tell stories of former plantation times and modern passion. In addition to learning interesting facts about tea varieties and cultivation techniques, guests also get to know the people who have made tea their life’s work.
