From Leaf to Cup: A Connoisseur’s Guide to Ceylon Tea
The seven tea regions of Sri Lanka, and where to taste the finest single-estate brews.
Ceylon tea is grown in seven distinct regions, each with its own altitude, climate and flavour profile — from the bright, brisk high-grown teas of Nuwara Eliya to the malty low-grown teas of Ruhuna.
The best way to understand them is in the hills themselves: plucking leaves at dawn, touring a Victorian factory and tasting side by side with an estate tea master.
