[2025 Nuwara Eliya District Attraction] Travel Guide for Bluefield Tea Gardens (Updated May)

Sri Lanka is one of those places that has a bit of everything—stunning beaches, lush jungles, ancient temples, and incredible wildlife. Whether you’re exploring the misty hills of Ella, wandering through the ruins of Anuradhapura, or relaxing on the beaches of Mirissa, every part of the country feels like a new adventure. One of the best ways to experience Sri Lanka is by train. The ride from Kandy to Ella, passing through tea plantations and rolling hills, is easily one of the most scenic in the world. Wildlife lovers can head to Yala or Udawalawe National Park to spot elephants, leopards, and countless bird species. The food is another highlight—spicy curries, fresh seafood, and delicious hoppers (crispy bowl-shaped pancakes) are everywhere. And despite being a small island, Sri Lanka’s landscapes change fast, making it easy to go from mountains to beaches in just a few hours. It’s the kind of place where you can slow down, take it all in, and always find something new to explore.

#GlobalTravel Blue Field Tea Plantation is one of the largest tea plantations in Sri Lanka and is open to foreign tourists. Sri Lanka is most famous for its tea, and tea exported from Sri Lanka can also be seen in different places. So when you come to Sri Lanka, of course you have to go to the famous tea plantation. First of all, the admission is free! The factory is huge and full of history! The tea plantation area is huge too!! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, he was very patient and explained everything about tea to us clearly! Also, we had a free tea tasting, and we also paid to taste the best tea in the world - Golden Tip Tea! This is a must visit!

The more famous Ceylon black tea plantations in Sri Lanka include Lipton Tea Plantation, Mackwoods Tea Plantation, and Dilmah Tea Plantation. We visited the BLUEFIELD Tea Plantation, but the tour guide explained that the tea plantation actually supplies tea to other brands such as LIPTON. The tea production process includes drying tea, sun drying tea, frying tea, baking tea, and finally sorting and packaging, which is not simple at all. The staff demonstrated the uses of various machines while giving explanations. The whole process was quite interesting.

Known as the world's cleanest source of black tea - Sri Lankan black tea (Ceylon black tea), its tea garden is located in the city of Nanu-oya, about half an hour from the center of the city to Damro Tea, one of the most famous tea factories. In a misty mountain, it is a very pleasant thing to have a cup of black tea and send an afternoon. ##
