Pedro Tea Estate Tourism

Type of destination: Tea Estate

Ideal visit duration: 1-3 hours

Pedro Tea Estate is one of the most celebrated tea plantations in Sri Lanka, located near the quaint town of Nuwara Eliya, which is often referred to as 'Little England' due to its colonial-style architecture and cool climate. Established by the British in 1885, the estate is named after Sir William Pedro, a noted figure in colonial Ceylon. Sprawling across lush green hills at an elevation of around 1,880 meters above sea level, the estate provides a spectacular view of the verdant landscape. Visitors to Pedro Tea Estate can indulge in guided tours that showcase the process of tea plucking, processing, and packing, culminating with a chance to sample and purchase the plantation's aromatic Ceylon tea. The factory tour is both educational and engaging, explaining the history and techniques of the tea industry. The estate's surroundings are perfect for leisurely strolls or hikes, where one can witness the spectacular vistas of tea-covered slopes, reservoirs, and the distant peak of Pidurutalagason on a clear day.
