About Us
Nestled in the peaks and valleys of Gampola, Sri Lanka; Sinhapitiya Estate, situated in the perfect Eden where rich, untouched soil meets heavenly views of the beautiful mid country landscape.
The estate is historically significant to our island as it is part of the first coffee plantation established by George Bird in 1824.
With the rise and fall of coffee plantations in Ceylon and the emergence of tea plantations, the estate has now morphed and transformed into a rich and diversified land that includes tea, coffee and local spices growing on untouched lush land.
