Norwood tea estate Tea Trails Maskeliya Nuwara eliya

Norwood Tea Estate Ceylon Tea Trails is undoubtedly one of the best and most desired experiences in Sri Lanka by the independent luxury traveler. Located approximately four and a half hours from the International Airport, on the tea estates of the Bogawantalawa valley, at an elevation of 4000ft are the four colonial style planters’ bungalows of Ceylon Tea Trails, Norwood, Castlereagh, Summerville and Tientsin all built between 1890 and 1939. Here, the guests are absorbed into life on a working tea estate, whilst reveling in five-star luxury. The four bungalows offer the upscale traveler both traditional and modern comforts in a “non-hotel” atmosphere. Each bungalow has a Manager, Chef, Butler and support staff to welcome guests as at a planter’s home. Meals are based on fresh produce, cooked to order and range from western fare to tea infused dishes and of course traditional Sri Lankan classics.
