If you specifically want an eco friendly, organic tea experience, you must visit the Amba Estate. While it is located closer to Ella than Kandy, it is universally recognized as the pioneer of artisanal, organic tea farming in Sri Lanka.

Unlike massive commercial factories, Amba Estate focuses entirely on sustainable methods, hand rolling their teas without using any chemical pesticides or fertilizers. Their tour is incredibly intimate, highly educational, and deeply respects the local environment and workers.
