We provide factory tours, Estate & Herbal Garden visit and Tea tasting session with optional meal at the end of tour, an experience you don't want to miss! Matara, a southern Sri Lankan coastal terrain, a land well known for its thriving fishing, diverse vegetation, stretch of paddy cultivation, intellectual pursuits, and architecture until late Mr. D.A Wanigasekara (1860-1955), one of the pioneer tea planters in this region made the history by venturing into tea culture in 1910. Nandana Tea Factory (NTF) is situated in Akuressa, bordering the wide expanse of waters, the Nilwala Ganga (Blue River). NTF makes premium orthodox black tea, maintaining the age-old tradition, preserving intrinsic aroma, taste and quality. NTF stamped its mark in the country as the best producers of low-grown tea, under the proficient guidance of its managing director, Mr. Gunasoma Wanigasekara.
