Step into Tea Country

Begin your journey with a visit to a charming tea factory. This hilltop facility is surrounded by sweeping tea plantations. Impressively, it has been in operation for nearly 150 years.

As you explore, you’ll learn how fresh tea leaves are turned into one of the world’s favorite drinks. The factory uses some of its original machinery, offering a glimpse into the past.

In addition, the factory features a beautiful viewpoint. From there, you can spot Boburu Ella Reservoir in the distance. This is also the starting point of Uma Oya, an important sub-river in the region.

🕓 Keep in mind: The tea factory closes at 5 PM. If you’re visiting in the afternoon, begin the tour by 2 PM.

Hike to Lovers’ Leap Waterfall

After the factory tour, it’s time for a short hike. The trail to Lovers’ Leap Waterfall takes about 30 minutes. It winds through peaceful woods filled with birds and cool, fresh air.

Although the hike is gentle, it feels like an adventure. At the end, you’ll discover a hidden waterfall surrounded by forest. The name Lovers’ Leap comes from a local legend, adding mystery to the place.

Moreover, the waterfall offers a perfect setting for photos or quiet reflection. It’s a serene contrast to the lively tea factory.
