Dambethenna Tea Factory


The Dambethenna tea factory is situated just about 11Km from Haputale.This popular tea factory was built in 1890 by Sir Thomas Lipton, one of the most famous figures in tea history. It is a four story building with 345 feet in length,40 feet in width and it has 19,760 Sq.Ft as ground floor area. The Dambethenna tea factory is the largest functioning tea factory in Sri Lanka.





In the tour through the factory you can see the full process of tea making such as the fermentation, rolling, drying, cutting, sieving and grading of tea. It's probably the most comprehensive tea-factory tour around, and afterwards you can sip a cup of tea while buying them.
