Is it possible to hike the peak and return to the tea country in the same afternoon.

Logistically, a half day trip is impossible. The drive from Nuwara Eliya to the base at Dalhousie alone takes over two hours through winding mountain roads. The grueling hike up and down the 5500 steps requires at least six to seven hours of intense physical effort.

You absolutely must plan for a full overnight excursion. Tourists typically arrive in Dalhousie in the late afternoon, sleep for a few hours, begin the exhausting ascent at 2:00 AM, watch the sunrise, hike back down, and then travel back to Nuwara Eliya completely exhausted by noon the next day.
