St. James State Tea Factory

4.1(9 reviews)

About

St. James State Tea Factory, a local business on Sri Lanka, sits on Neluwa Road. The venue operates as a tea business on the island.

The factory is known for tea, the crop that has shaped the island's hill country since the nineteenth century. First-time visitors can expect a working tea factory rather than a coastal resort, in keeping with its inland setting. Visitors have given St. James State Tea Factory a 4.1 out of 5 average from 9 reviews. The hill country in central Sri Lanka is cooler and wetter than the coastal plains, so the air here feels different from the beaches.

Five photographs accompany the listing, and the Neluwa Road address remains the primary reference point.

Sinhala and Tamil are the official languages of Sri Lanka, and English is widely used in administration and tourism. Sri Lanka was known as Ceylon until 1972, gained independence in 1948, and has ancient cities at Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa. Buses serve most routes, three-wheelers are common for short trips, and traffic drives on the left. Neluwa Road sits inland, away from the coastal towns, so reaching the factory involves a drive through the hill country.
