Tea and Cake

I do like a nice cup of cha; and the cake was pretty special too. I bought a box of Broken Orange Pekoe (note the orange hue) from the tea factory but unfortunately forgot to get the recipe for the cake. After the tour of the tea factory and partaking in their produce we headed out into tea country to see some waterfalls. Ramboda falls are the largest falls in the area (although there were actually 2 of them) and our driver was able to show us the route to get to the base of the falls. After heavy rains the falls are even more impressive, but rainy weather isn't really conducive with sightseeing so I was quite happy with the falls just as they were.

The weather in the hill country is probably 10 degrees cooler than at sea level and is the main area for growing vegetables in Sri Lanka, as well as the site for the tea plantations.
