Mackwoods Labookelie Tea Centre is the highest tea plantation in Sri Lanka & is therefore deemed to produce the best tea, while it is the women who work in the fields, both men & women work in the factory here. The company gave me an informative tour of the plant, which began with showing samples of the different grades of tea. My photographs are not great as a lot were taken through glass. (I would later visit another tea factory, 'Dambatenne' which was a better tour & better photographs were obtained.) It was also a shame I could not have a tour of the actual estate. I later visited the tea room & ordered some tea & sat outside on the terrace overlooking the tea plantations which was nice. I was served a very large pot of tea & later realised it was free & then wished I'd ordered some cake to go with it! (Although I couldn't grumble at a free tour & a free pot of tea!)
