Ceylon Tea Museum
The Tea Board of Sri Lanka recently opened a Tea Museum in Hatton, Kandy. Although the exhibits here are not large, it gives a valuable insight into how the tea was made that day. Some machines, more than a century old, are kept in working order. The main welcome exhibit is powered by ground floor engines, zonal and other liquid fuels, engines developed by Roston and Herzby in the room, and turbines that supply water to plantations.
The museum, the grinding room, shows the advancement of production technology and has a collection of grinding machines. There is a small giant tea grinder that operates the exhibit by hand, and there is a tea shop and a restaurant for guests to buy tea.
