Description

Dimbula Distinctly Exclusive: The Tea produced in the Ruhuna District is defined as ‘low-grown’ or low country tea. The tea estates of the region lay at altitudes of 600m (2,000ft) amid sea levels. Although the key tea cultivating areas are relatively near the coast, the predominant weather patterns prevent the crop from receiving the full force of the southwest monsoon winds and rain. Before ‘tea’ was introduced, this zone of moderate climate, watered by several small rivers, was devoted to the cultivation of spices. The soil of the region combined with the low elevation of the estates, causes the tea-bush to grow rapidly, producing a long, beautiful leaf that turns intensely black on withering and is particularly suited for ‘rolling.

Authentic, Artisanal Tea – Our tea is handpicked and made in the traditional way – a method that is unchanged for centuries to ensure the taste, goodness and quality in Ceylon Valley Tea.
