An Actual Adventure Based on Agrotourism
IBBI is an interactive agrotourism resort located in the lush
hills of Matale, Sri Lanka. Since we believe that people should
have a one-on-one encounter with nature, our specialty lies in
intimate and informative experiences. Our connection to the
land, its traditions, and the people who care for it is the
foundation of our ethos.
Our name, IBBI (ඉබ්බි), is obtained from the Sinhala name for
"female tortoise," a symbol of resilience, knowledge, and a
caring relationship with the land. Our logo's green Sinhala
letter "ඉ" stands for purity, freshness, and a representation of
Sri Lanka's greenest surroundings. The concept of nurtured
rather than generated best treasures of nature echoes every
element of our brand.
The Experience of IBBI
Our core business is the guided exploration of our lush plantation,
which feels less like a farm and more like a thriving jungle. This
isn't another passive walkthrough, it's a chance to engage
one-on-one with the land. You'll join us for interactive
demonstrations, participate in seasonal harvesting, and learn
ancient traditions passed down through generations.
You could reach out and touch the leaves and scent the fertile
ground as you:
Observe the exact 2.5/3.5leaf plucking technique and watch how
fresh leaves of tea are converted into the delicious cup produced
in our area.
Witness the art of cinnamon tree bark extraction, by which a
common tree produces the most aromatic spice in the world.
Learn about the specialty coffee, clove, pepper, and nutmeg, and
see how the sprout transforms into the spice and how the varieties
Arabica and Robusta, or black and white pepper, differ.
Visit the traditional art of tapping sap from the Kithul (Toddy)
tree and see how the sweet sap is refined into treacle, jaggery,
and toddy.
Our Inspiration
Besides the crops, our business concept will provide diverse
experiences that will match your journey. You may choose a beautiful
tuk-tuk tour or a more personal guided nature trail. We are
diligently expanding our services to provide fun activities such as
off-road biking and green camping so that you can be in the flow of
the natural pace of our land.
A Commitment to Sustainability
Beyond the purity of its products, IBBI strives to be a beacon of
sustainability and environmental consciousness. By embracing green
farming practices and championing the use of natural inputs, IBBI
minimizes its ecological footprint while promoting biodiversity.
Every acre cultivated by the Olu Group is a celebration of harmony
with nature—a conscious choice to preserve the environment for
future generations.
We at IBBI take natural farming as our business. No synthetic
fertilizers or pesticides are used, and all of our produce is grown
with the uncrossed flavors of our soil. We are a company whose
mission is to share our love of the land so that all those who visit
us will take home something new to remember about Sri
Lanka—something to cherish and something to truly experience the
real Sri Lankan agricultural heritage. Here you are taking in a
philosophy of purity, sustainability, and a very profound sense of
life.
A Philosophy to Remember
IBBI is not just a place to go; it is a way of looking at the world.
By being natural, sustainable, and having a strong appreciation of
life, we extend our passion for the land to all of you who visit our
estate. IBBI is not just about experiencing nature but about
carrying some nature in your hand forever!
