Tea Regions in Sri Lanka
The cool-breeze touched lush green-carpeted hill country of Sri Lanka is pregnant with the ideal climatic conditions for the growth of the worlds' finest tea, famous for its exquisite, qualities of invigorating flavor, color and taste-buds tickling aroma. However, tea is grown in slopes at three different elevations- 4000 ft above sea level (high grown), between 2000 ft. and 4000 ft. (mid- grown) and finally, below 2000 ft.(low grown).
Each elevation has its own distinctive characteristics in appearance, flavour, aroma and strength. Therefore, different grades of tea, by nature, come from different locations.
