A guided visit to the Tea Leaf Trust

A visit to the Tea Leaf Trust in Maskeliya gives you a different perspective to the story of Ceylon tea and the communities that work tirelessly to bring you this special brew. While some aspects of the visit may be uncomfortable, it is brought to you with joy, optimism and an ‘un-sanitised’ perspective of the aspirations and challenges of this local community.

Your host for the visit is a former student and current Principal of the Tea Leaf Centre, Mr Chan. He will give you a tour of this remarkable school and a brief history of the tea plucking communities. He will then take you through some of the classes conducted by the school, and you may have the opportunity to meet some of the students if there is a break between classes.

Optional, and subject to additional fee: After the visit, (weather permitting) you may like to explore the local tea estate and its stunning landscapes, local places of worship, and have tea with a local family to gain further insight to community life, before continuing back to the centre to conclude your tour.
