Hashan knows everything. We had so many questions and they were all answered with a lot of detail. We had a great time and enjoyed every minute.

We had an amazing day with Hashan who was extremely knowledgeable about tea and Sri Lanka’s history. The tour covered so many aspects of tea - how it’s produced as well as economic and social perspectives. I don’t think it’s possible to find a better guide! (Good to know: it’s an independent tour so you will not get nudged to buy anything, just learn a lot)

Very knowledgable and passionate host, there is not a thing about tea he does not know. Very good english, which made the experience even better. A visit to a genuide old-style tea factory where we could see every step of the tea makimg process. A strong recommendation to book this tour, it was our best experience of our trip to Ella.

We went on a guided tour with Hashan, and what an experience we had. From the trip to the local plantation, the factory, and finally tea tasting, he was ready with expert knowledge and answers to all our questions, big and small. Hashan is super competent and gave us a really nice experience, as well as a lot of knowledge about the tea's journey.
