  1. Tea Plantation

Tea plantations are a significant feature of Sri Lanka's agricultural landscape, and the country is well known for its high-quality tea production. Sri Lanka's tea industry dates back to the 19th century when the British introduced tea cultivation to the island nation. Today, tea plantations cover vast areas of Sri Lanka's hilly terrain, particularly in the central highlands, including the districts of Nuwara Eliya, Kandy, Ratnapura and Badulla.

 

Sri Lanka's tea plantations are known for producing a variety of tea types, including black, green, and white tea, with black tea being the most popular. The tea plants are grown on steep hillsides, which are terraced to prevent soil erosion. The tea leaves are carefully picked by hand and taken to nearby factories for processing. The tea factories use traditional methods to process the tea leaves, including withering, rolling, oxidation, and drying, to create the distinctive flavors and aromas that are characteristic of Sri Lankan tea.
