Avoid the massive tourist spice and tea gardens on the outskirts. Go to the Mlesna Tea Center in Kandy town or the central municipal market. They sell premium, authentic tea at standard prices.

Gem Museum Commission ScamVerified

TukTuk or tour drivers take you to "gem museums" or "government-certified" gem shops. They receive huge commissions (up to 40%) on anything you buy. Prices are inflated 3-10x the actual value.
