NUWARA ELIYA, SRI LANKA - WELCOME TO TEA PARADISE 🌿| VLOG #38
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 апр 2017
- We finally got to Nuwara Eliya, the tea capital of Sri Lanka! While we normally get straight to the action, this time we wanted to try something different. That's why we went into a tea factory (Macwoods) to learn and show how tea actually gets produced.
So will this be a history lesson? No, don't worry there's only some theory at the beginning but after that the action starts. 😉
Oh and we'll also be checking out the Ramboda waterfall in this vlog!
Accommodation: we stayed at the Blackpool hotel in Nuwara Eliya, a great accommodation with a wonderful location as you can see in the video. Check them out here: www.blackpool.lk/

Great video! Nuwara Eliya is one of my favorite estates in Sir Lanka. Their tea is always solid :)
Haha good to hear that, the process seemed quiet solid too 😃
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!
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
Dankje! Wat leuk om weer van jullie te horen! Veel liefs
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: ruclips.net/video/Em0gPMj13wU/видео.html
More are still coming though! 😃
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 😍
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! 😃
Ah ! Encore magnifique! Merci de nous faire voyager avec vous. 😘
Merci!
I just got back from Nuwara Eliya few hours ago. And I have to say it looks absolutely breathtaking!!!!!!!!
Wooow really amazing video!
1st One to View Amazing, I made an entry on your contest. Keep updating 😘
Awesome man, thanks for commenting we really appreciate it!
it's keep getting better and better each vlog, hope to see nepal or even bhutan from your vlogs that would be very nice.
Thanks Yank, happy to know you're still there 😃 Well, we don't want to spoil too much but your wishes might come true!
Awesome!!!! Awesome as always!!! Is missing only the aromas on the video 😀
Hahaha that made us laugh!
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☺☺
Thank you so much! We've done it the best we could and it's our favourite country :)
Hi, great video! How did you travel from Nuwara Eliya to the falls? By tuk tuk? Many thanks for your reply!
It's Mackwoods factory, isn't it?) Absolutely love Nuwara Eliya and it's neighbourhood! Hope you will show more of it soon! ;)
Yes it is! We're moving up to Kandy now, taking a beautiful train ride. Although we're not that much fans of cities, we'll create a vlog there too 😃
What is the name of the waterfall?
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?
That's a very good question and I honestly wouldn't know the answer 😃
Haha I don't expect you to, just wondering out loud :)
Haha next time we'll think about it 😉

Hey Hugo & Noemie, love you vlogs, we are just wondering what camera do you use for your Instagram photos? Thanks :)

good information, thankyou
Welcome Elisabeth, happy you like it!
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".
The Man is handsome!
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
Thanks for that ;)
its nice video.actually i would like to thanks for create amazing travel video abut my loving mother land.
welcome again sri lanka. I would like to request if you like can i post this video in my fb page regarding my country.
thanks friend.
Welcome to sir Lanka
it might be beautiful but these used be pristine rain forests with loads of elephants and leopards..now a almost bare land, except for the tea plants ..and loads of indian laborers brought by the british to work on the, creating additional problems .
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!
i have no word to say about that
Haha hope that means good!
of course
Yeeay!
Good 🇱🇰
Nuwara Eliya is beautiful, nice vid! If you guys are still in Sri Lanka in May, let me invite you two over for a free kitesurf lesson in Kappalady, near Kalpitiya! Groetjes :)
Hey Niels, thanks for that! We're actually moving to Kalpitiya tomorrow but unfortunately we only have 3 days. You're teaching kitesurfing there? We're excited to go! Groetjes terug haha!
Hey ja ik zit er vanaf Mei weer voor het kite seizoen. Gebeurt nu niet veel in Kalpitiya, hebben jullie al plannen? Ik heb daar een vriend die accommodatie en een restaurant heeft en evt een safari of bootsafari kan organiseren als jullie willen. Grt!
We verblijven nu bij een resort om daar een promo filmpje te maken (Bar Reef Resort) en gaan hier waarschijnlijk al dolfijn watching doen die we in een vlog stoppen! Maar thanks, appreciate it en geniet vooral in mei!
Hope you have not been to Munnar ,Kerala......God's own country...
The best tea plantation you can see in the entire world....
nice video. better you shave. just kidding
