An authentic experience of Sri Lanka's finest tea in a single visit!
The Tea Tasting visit at James Taylor Tea Atelier was a remarkable experience. I was impressed with the sophisticated environment and presentation which, displayed Sri Lanka's longstanding expertise in Tea production.
Mr. Shehan Fernando and his team delivered an authentic and informative session, engaging with the crowd as they provided a thorough explanation on the industry's history, production and the highlighted experience of tasting a range of different tea blends with their unique flavours.
The entire session was carried out at a relaxed pace and not overwhelmingly lengthy, which made it all the more enjoyable for us.
Truly a memorable experience and I can definitely recommend paying a visit here!

A unique experience
As a group of students, we visited this place and were quite amazed to learn about and experience the historical background of tea. The Owner, Mr Shehan Fernando, provided all of us with incredible insight into his own background and what inspired him to enter the Tea Industry as well as taking us through the 8-stage tea production process from how the right leaves are plucked in Stage 1 based on the appearance of the leaf all the way to how different teas are identified based on different tasting techniques in Stage 8. This enhanced our knowledge of tea history, especially in Sri Lanka, seeing that tea is one of the few naturally growing resources that is in great demand around the world.
Moreover, each of us got the chance to taste 17 different types of tea ranging from Green Tea, Cinnamon flavoured tea, Earl Grey-flavoured black tea, Ginger Infusion tea and much more.
This was an incredible and memorable experience for all of us, and we sincerely thank all the members of the James Taylor Tea Ceylon for providing us with this opportunity!

Definitely one of the most memorable educational experiences
We had the privilege of visiting the tea company on an educational tour organized by our school on the 1st of June. The experience was truly exceptional and far exceeded our expectations. Throughout the visit, we were introduced to many fascinating aspects of tea production that we had never learned about before, making it both educational and memorable.
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Mr. Shehan Fernando and his wonderful team for their warm hospitality and for taking the time to share their knowledge and expertise with us. The opportunity to gain first-hand insight into the tea industry made the occasion especially meaningful and unique.
One of the highlights of the visit was the tea tasting session, where we had the chance to sample a variety of unique and luxurious tea blends that many of us had never experienced before. We greatly appreciated this opportunity and thoroughly enjoyed learning about the different flavours, aromas, and qualities of premium teas.
Overall, it was an enriching and unforgettable experience, and we are truly thankful to Mr. Shehan Fernando and his team for making it such a special and enjoyable visit.

A great Experience
We visited this place on an educational trip with over 20 students, and the experience was excellent. The owner, Shehan Fernando, delivered a highly informative and engaging session on the history of tea and the art of tea tasting.
Both the teachers and students were impressed by his expertise, professionalism, and passion for the tea industry. The visit provided students with valuable insights into Sri Lanka's tea heritage, production processes, and tea-tasting techniques.
The students thoroughly enjoyed the experience and left with a much deeper understanding of the tea industry in Sri Lanka. I would highly recommend this place to schools, educational groups, and anyone interested in learning more about tea.
