Sri Lanka und seine Teeplantagen gehen Hand in Hand. In der Zentralprovinz Sri Lankas liegt die Teeplantage Giragama, ein malerisches Dorf, das für seinen Teeanbau bekannt ist. Giragama war eine der ersten Plantagen in der Nähe von Kandy , dem Herzen Sri Lankas.

Sri Lanka ist einer der größten Teeproduzenten der Welt und diese Teeplantage ermöglicht einen Rundgang durch das Innere, bei dem Touristen sehen können, wie Tee mit Maschinen verarbeitet wird. Darüber hinaus können sie dort auch Tee kaufen.

Das Anwesen erstreckt sich über viele Hektar; Wenn man an einem Ende steht, scheint es, als ob die Giragama-Teeplantage keine Grenzen kennt. Sie verfügen über Anwesen, die für Touristen zu Spaziergängen geöffnet sind; Teeproduktionseinheiten, die den gesamten Prozess vom Pflücken der Teeblätter über die Reinigung und Weiterverarbeitung bis zum fertigen Produkt zeigen; und hauseigene Shops, die frisch verpackten Tee in verschiedenen Varianten verkaufen.
