We visited Amba Estate Tea Plantation near Ella in the Uva Central Provence of Sri Lanka on the back of a recommendation from a couple we’d met during our stay at Polwatte House in Kandy. The couple talked about the estate’s ethos for sustainability, organics and community initiatives. I was sold. Amba Estate sounded right up my street so we booked ourselves in for lunch and a tour of the estate.
