Where is the best place to buy tea in Ceylon?
Please tell me where is the best place to buy tea in Sri Lanka?
Upon arrival in the country, I immediately go on a three-day excursion, and then to a beach hotel. The tour involves visiting tea plantations. It will be cheaper to buy tea there or buy it in Koggala or Galle. Interested not only in price, but also in the quality of tea.
Thank you all in advance for your replies.

we bought in Nuwara Eliya and then bought in a shop in Bentota. In Nuwara Eliya tea is the best quality. I advise you to buy at tea factories all the same.

We were on a tour of the country for 9 days, we bought tea everywhere, in every store it is different in design, in one store in Nuwara Eliya, on a mountain pass, in iron cans, then in ceramics, and somewhere else in wooden boxes. Mine I advise you, do not compare prices and do not think that it will be cheaper somewhere. Wherever you like something, take it there, it will not happen elsewhere. You will also be brought to a tea plantation. Personally, I flew for the second time and I got tea, for which I squeezed money for the first time. Do not convert their prices in $, to ours in hryvnias, there tea is fresh, amazingly tasty, chic assortment. After all, this is the birthplace of tea! For the second time I took both white tea, and gold, and silver, and in general I scored at least 20 different cans, well, what is expensive, but delicious! And the best souvenirs. For reference, all good tea is exported, and locals drink tea waste. Be at the tea factory, they will show you everything and tell you.

I think it also depends on the plantation. We were in Kandy at the tea factory. The boxes are, of course, great. But the tea that lies in containers around the factory does not smell like tea at all. Bought at a tea shop in Kalutara. The choice is large, everyone gives you a sniff, if you ask - and they will brew it.

And what is the best tea in Sri Lanka? The answer was: "All our teas are good")))) Take gold, silver, black or green. They are all really great.

The plantations will be more expensive than at the airport before departure.

moryachka-1 - respect!!! It’s really a little more expensive on the plantations, but there is no such tea at the airport. We bought in Nuwara Eliya, at the tea factory - awesome tea, and the one we bought at the airport was of much worse quality.

Tea is the same everywhere, it’s better to take it in a supermarket, everything else is a divorce and a ride over the ears

tea is not the same everywhere. Firstly, you can buy by weight only after visiting a tea factory, where they will tell and show everything. We bought tea in Gala in a tea shop (2400 rupees per kg - it was worse than in the market in Colombo (1200 per kg), although we bought both there and there B.O.P.F .. How lucky - which seller you run into.
