Cool air, clipped hedges and a hillside full of tea.
The feeling
Sri Lanka's tea country at 1,800 metres, where the British left cottage gardens and a horse-racing track, and the hills stay green through every season. Pluckers move through the bushes at first light; a factory tour ends, always, with a warm cup.
