Sharing the same 30-acre estate with our family at Jetwing Warwick Gardens, Meena Amma’s Tea Experience is located in the quiet pocket of Ambewela – Sri Lanka’s highest grassland at 6000 feet above sea level.
Experience the livelihood of Sri Lanka’s tea pickers with the heartwarming hospitality of Meena Amma. Join Meena Amma on her walks through the tea plantations and gain firsthand insights into the hard work that goes into a cup of tea; learn to cook an authentic Sri Lankan meal; visit the village temple or school and mingle with the ever so friendly village folk to learn about their lifestyles, culture and traditions.
It does not get better than a meal cooked on a firewood hearth in a rustic country kitchen. Meena Amma treats you to the best of authentic Sri Lankan cuisine prepared with the freshest of local produce and most importantly, an abundance of love.
