The swirling mists, rolling hills and emerald carpets of tea bushes of Sri Lanka’s Tea Country occupy a very special place in Yonder hearts. It’s a magical place. After our latest sojourn on this magical island, it is often not the glorious beaches that make us smile most with fond memories, but the highlands. If there was one place in the world to be played on loop, this would be it.
The verdant green tea leaves are so intense in colour that you don’t need a polarising lens on your camera. And the wonderful thing about Tea Country is not just drinking the refreshing nectar – and we’re not talking Tetleys tea bags here – but the walks that meander through plantations, over waterfalls and through small villages.
