The Ceylon Tea Museum is located approximately 3 kilometers south of Kandy, in the central part of Sri Lanka, within the Hantane Tea Factory building that dates back to 1925. This historic establishment stands as a tribute to the tea industry and its significant contribution to the Sri Lankan economy. Spread over four floors, the museum exhibits vintage tea-processing equipment, photographs, and artifacts that display the growth of tea cultivation and production since the British colonial period.

The museum also houses a library, a shop, and a café where visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding tea estates while sipping on a range of freshly brewed Ceylon teas. It provides an insightful educational experience for tea enthusiasts and history buffs alike, making it a noted tourist destination in the region.
