Yes, but Nuwara Eliya is a district, not an estate, and there are lots of tea estates in there. Just saying :)

I just bought some CHAI from Sri Lanka at an Asian Shop here in the Netherlands and have to admit that I like the taste of it. Nice video!

Wooow really amazing video!

Another great video Hugo and Noemie! Not only you presented a great video, you are a great human-being. You highlighted the hard work done by those women to support their families etc. Your videos will help the development of economy, improve the life style and quality of the life of those families. Great work. Please post more videos from Sri Lanka.

Hey there, great to hear from you! What a sweet comment, yes of course we want to show how everything really is. We can't do that by reading a guidebook, we need to really get in there and wow, such a lot of respect from this woman! We've got a Sri Lankan playlist of our videos that you can check here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/d6FkybKGmpSZp7g.html More are still coming though! 😃

Alweer een mooie vlog Hugo en Noemie. Wat is het daar toch mooi. Leuk dat jullie het proces van struik tot theeblaadjes hebben laten zien. Heel leerzaam. Veel succes op jullie verdere reis, we blijven jullie volgen! Robert en Tally

Thank you Hugo and Noemie for your awesome vlog! It was really interesting to learn all the information about the tea in Sri Lanka. It's interesting that the tea came from India to Sri Lanka in 1867 as that is the same year that Canada formed as the Dominion of Canada with the confederation of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario. This July 1st will be the 150th anniversary of Canada. I enjoyed seeing the tea fields and your wonderful drone images of the fields in the sunshine and also the high waterfalls. I like your music too! Great vlog! Keep up the good work! Have fun! Thank you! Thumbs up!

Thanks Mike! Yes we were intrigued by how all of this process actually worked. It was a bit of a different vlog, a bit too much theory for us when we look back upon it, but we're happy we gave it a shot and learned again from it. We'll keep them coming! 😃

Hi Guys! Does Sri Lanka allow drones or did you guys rent it there? I see you guys have some really good drone footage.. :) Planning to go to Sri Lanka in February, any tips?

Your vlog increasing awesome nowadays, the scenery of tea fields was awesome, srilanka really amazing.keep good work guys! Oh, i wonder to see Noemie in make up, she must look beautiful. Ps: done following you on Instagram.

Hey Sarah! Awesome to hear that message from you, Noemie looks beautiful with make up if you ask me (Hugo), she just never really puts much on as we're traveling so much. One day 😍

Iam so Sri Lankan and I should salute the effort you both had to describe the beauty of my mother country. If you can come back here again, as Sri Lankans we will warmly welcome you☺☺

The tea fields remind me so much of the Rice terraces here in Bali! SO gorgeous. I wonder if they use the same irrigation techniques?

Srilanka is a very beautiful country in the world

Sri lanka is the best

the land where you can get the best tea in the world

Welcome to sir Lanka

In 1824 a tea plant was brought to Ceylon by the British from China and was planted in the Royal Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya for non-commercial purposes - Wikipedia

Hey Rasab, thanks for commenting and that information. If there's one country though that is able to have so much nature and great conversation of elephants and leopards, it is definitely Sri Lanka!

interesting video! will be there in 2 weeks! just to mention, nuwara eliya shall not be pronounced as "nu-wa-ra, e-li-ya", instead it shall be pronounced in one word "Nyur-rel-iya".

i have no word to say about that
