One of this year’s joys will be hosting another kind of tea tour. This tea tour is aided by the impeccable talents of Sri Lanka in Style across jungles, into cultures, and all happily fuelled by teas of a different colour. Sri Lanka’s scents, tints, and tastes come alive this summer in a tea tour of so much more here.
A Tea Tour designed, indulged in, and presented by Jeff Fuchs, Miguel Cunat and Sri Lanka in Style.
