Kandy Tea
Intensely full bodied!

Kandy, the ancient city, was the location of the last kingdom in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and also the place where tea was first planted. The black teas produced in these highland regions are grown in mountainous areas at elevations ranging from 2000 to 4000 feet (600 to 1200 meters), resulting in an intensely rich flavor. It is recommended for those who prefer a rich and moderately aromatic black tea. It is particularly suitable for making milk tea.

Nuwara Eliya Tea
Delicately fragrant!

Nuwara Eliya Tea is produced in the unique production methods of the Nuwara Eliya region. The tea is infused with the fragrance of cedar carried by the wind, wild mint's menthol, and the blessings of eucalyptus, giving it a distinct aroma. Among tea experts, it is known as Nuwara Eliya or "Champagne of Ceylon Tea," and tea grown in the mountains above 6,250 feet (1,900 meters) is highly appreciated. The blended tea offers a light-colored, mild, and aromatic cup to enjoy, while iced tea provides an exciting and different taste experience.

Dimbula Tea
Refreshingly Mellow!

After coffee cultivation suffered damage from mold in the 1870s, Dimbula was one of the first regions to transition to tea cultivation. It is perhaps the most famous name after Ceylon tea. Dimbula teas are grown at elevations ranging from 3,500 to 5,500 feet (1,100-1,700 meters) on the western side of the central mountain range. The monsoonal rains and dry cold climate give rise to a diverse range of teas, ranging from rich and robust flavors to delicate and light flavors.

Ruhuna Tea
Distinctively Unique!

The low-altitude soil in which it is cultivated enhances the distinctiveness of this tea. Located in the southern region of Sri Lanka, Ruhuna is known for producing exceptional tea, both in the past and present. The cultivation takes place at elevations ranging from sea level to 2000 feet (600 meters), and the composition of the soil imparts a dark hue to the leaves, resulting in a robust and uniquely flavored liquid when extracted. It is recommended for those who prefer rich and sweet tea, suitable for both plain consumption or as milk tea.

Uva Tea
Exotically Aromatic!

Uva tea is grown in the mountains on the eastern side of Sri Lanka's central highlands, at elevations ranging from 3,500 to 5,500 feet (1,100-1,700 meters). Uva tea possesses a truly splendid aroma. These teas are commonly used in various blends and their diverse and distinctive characteristics can be enjoyed on their own as well.
