Discover the art of traditional tea making with a hands-on journey through our independent, female-led family estate. Step away from crowded commercial factory tours and immerse yourself in an intimate, authentic “leaf to cup” experience at the Green Ella Tea Lounge.
Your experience begins in our vibrant tea gardens, where we will guide you through the delicate art of selecting and plucking the finest organic leaves, including our prized Golden and Silver tips. Next, move to our cosy lounge to learn the rare, traditional hand-rolling techniques that give artisanal Ceylon tea its world-renowned flavour.
Under our gentle guidance, you will harvest, hand-roll, and craft your own custom blend using methods passed down through generations. While your leaves dry, sit back and enjoy a premium guided tasting session featuring over 10 distinct varieties of black, green, and artisanal teas, paired perfectly with authentic local sweets and traditional Sri Lankan snacks.
Best of all, you will package up the very tea you plucked and rolled by hand to take home as a completely unique, personalised souvenir of your time in Ella.
