Heritance Tea Factory SRI LANKA
Nestled among plantations and emerald hills, the historical Hethersett Estate is home to Heritance Tea Factory, part of the distinctive portfolio of Aitken Spence Hotels. Converted from a 19th- century factory, the resort offers captivating experiences woven around the tea industry. Settle into colonial-style accommodation
6,850ft above sea level and take in the view of the verdant hillside with tea plantations while the cool climate provides light breezes and fresh air. Rest in the tranquil surroundings of your cosy room, well-appointed with comfortable fittings and facilities and offering sweeping views of the stunning scenery. Heritance Tea Factory’s restaurants and
bars include unique features of the original tea factory — the Kenmare Restaurant’s ironwork and serving stations are left unchanged while the former packing room now serves as the Hethersett Bar. Guests can also enjoy dining aboard a grand railway carriage or a traditional high tea in the cottage garden. Once the sifting room of the old tea factory, the Kenmare
Restaurant now lays out lavish spreads of local and international cuisine. The original girders and ironwork are all left
unchanged, and rows of distinctive tea crates of old form the serving stations. The artistic living accommodation sits on ancient drying rooms giving a unique stay experience to guests. The resort offers an adventure for tea aficionados
and the ideal opportunity to explore the Sri Lankan highlands. Blessed with a salubrious climate for tea experiences, guests are able to pick and prepare their own tea as well as educate themselves at the mini tea factory. The Goatfell Bar,a one-of-a-kind tea baroffers a variety of exotic flavours for guests to pick as souvenirs. The famed silver tip tea is also organically produced here. The famous town of Nuwara Eliya is just
under 10 miles northeast, and the perfect place for guests to visit on a city tour. There’s also the chance to go nature-trekking to witness grand views from Horton Plains and Haggala Gardens or breathtaking waterfalls and mist-wrapped mountains within walking distance.
