Ceylon tea is prized around the world for its exceptional quality. The humidity, cold temperatures and rainfall in the central region provide the perfect climate for producing some of the highest-quality tea available using the orthodox tea manufacturing process. Our Ceylon Tea Farms We have 30 farms clustered in seven groups covering most of the agro-climatic regions in Sri Lanka. Our farms vary in altitude from 134m to 2,256m above sea level allowing us to produce a variety of different tea grades with unique quality, liquor and taste characteristics. The Tea Growing Regions of Ceylon Tea from Sri Lanka falls into three categories: low-grown (on farms up to 2000 ft high); medium grown (between 2000 and 4000 ft); and high grown (over 4000 ft). Each level produces teas of unique character. By blending teas from different areas of the island, Sri Lanka can offer a very wide range of flavour and colour. Some are full-bodied, others light and delicate, but all Ceylon blends have brisk full flavours and a bright golden colour.
