Teas of Sri Lanka

Once the world's largest producer of tea, the island of Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) is renowned for the superior quality of its tea. The majority of Sri Lanka's tea gardens are situated in the south- west of the island at a height of between 1,000 and 2,500 metres, with the finest teas grown at the highest altitudes where the cool and slightly misty climate results in a slow growth of the tea bushes, giving these teas their uniquely colourful liquor and intense flavour.
