Ceylon Virgin White Tea Plantation
A 30-minute long drive north from Weligama is the only plantation that produces Ceylon Virgin White tea celebrated across the world. The production process mimics a process that was once practised in ancient China, where the choicest tea was cut by the virgins, who never touched the tea leaves with their bare skin and offered the produced tea as a tribute to the Emperor. Considered to be one of the healthiest and the purest teas in the world rich in antioxidants.
Nestled between the evergreen rainforests and the Indian Ocean, the unique positioning of the Handunagala tea plantation, as well as the delicate process used in plucking the tea leaves, helps to retain its unique quality.
