Origins
Sri Lanka, Ruhuna Region
Found between sweeping coastal plains and the southern edge of the Sinharaja Rainforest, the Ruhuna District is known as the ‘low grown’ tea region of Sri Lanka. The soil and the low elevation of the estates combine to produce beautiful long leaves and full-flavoured black tea distinctive to the region. It’s a wet-zone, watered by the southwest monsoon, with low hills stretching out to wild scrub jungle. This is where we source our Pure Ceylon black tea, which is a beautiful expression of the terroir.
