Handunugoda Tea Estate & Cinnamon Experience

Tour overview

Handunugoda Tea Estate, close to the south coast, is known for producing Virgin White Tea, a rare and delicate tea harvested using golden scissors without the leaves ever touching human hands. A guided estate walk explains the full production process, followed by a tasting of several distinct tea grades. A cinnamon peeling demonstration nearby introduces the technique behind true Ceylon cinnamon, considerably more delicate than the cassia bark sold as cinnamon in most of the world. This half-day pairs naturally with a Galle Fort visit or a south coast beach stay.
