The Nuwara Eliya tea factory that we visited is called Damro Labookellie Tea Centre (former Mackwoods) and is the oldest tea centre in Sri Lanka. Their tea bushes are replanted every 100 years on over 5,000 hectares of lush tea plantations. In this tea factory, they make white and black tea, while the green tea is processed in another tea factory and then sent to Damro. All the different kinds of teas have different processes of making, and you will be able to learn all about these processes if you do a tea factory tour.The factory tour at Damro is free of charge and ends with delicious tea and cake tasting at the Damro Tea Lounge
