Private Tea Tasting Experience in Sri Lanka

Private Tea Tasting

A tongue-in-cheek interactive experience

An interactive and guided experience where guests will taste and learn to identify (and appreciate!) the unique flavour profiles that give different teas their distinction. Bernard Holsinger is the resident Tea Planter at Tea Trails and brings with him a wealth of experience, complemented with a healthy dose of tongue-in-cheek wit. Compared to the complimentary Tea Experience at the Dunkeld Tea factory – which is a general overview of the history of tea and its product – the Private Tea Tasting is a far more detailed, immersive and intimate experience.

THINGS TO NOTE

Needs to be pre-booked and will vary upon availability.
The experience will be exclusive to the person/couple/small group that request for it
It is advisable guests inform their butler and confirm by afternoon the day prior to the experience.
