Imboolpittia Tea Factory

4.6(36 reviews)

About

Imboolpittia Tea Factory in Sri Lanka sits on the Kotapola - Urubokka - Mulatiyana Rd in Beralapanathara, within reach of Colombo, Galle, Kandy, Negombo, Bentota, Mirissa, Unawatuna and Arugam Bay. The hill country in central Sri Lanka is cooler and wetter than the coastal plains, which suits the tea grown in this part of the island.

As a tea producer, the factory works with the crop that Sri Lanka is a major producer of, alongside cinnamon. A 4.6 out of 5 average across 36 reviews reflects a favourable response from those who have visited.

First-time visitors can expect a working tea operation in a hill-country setting rather than a coastal one. The 36 reviews give a modest but positive record of what people make of the visit.

The southwest and west coasts are driest from December to March, while the east coast is best from May to September, which helps visitors time a wider trip around the island. Imboolpittia Tea Factory gives travellers a stop in the tea-growing interior of Sri Lanka.
