Sri Lanka-Island of Tea

Nuwara Eliya lies at the foot of Sri Lanka's highest mountain and is surrounded by steep mountain ridges. Although the infusions from the tea's that grow there do not have much depth or colour, they have a distinct perfume and a burst of flavour.

The famous Dimbulas are produced in the largest tea-growing district in the south-western corner of the central mountains. Dimbulas teas are light and aromatic with the special flavour that develops at such high elevations.

Sri Lanka (Ceylon) produces 25% of total world production, around 600,000 tons annually.
