Tea Gardens

Established during the late 19th century in Colonial Ceylon, the tea gardens along with its beauty, speak of a labour of love. Each day, thousands of tea pickers with nimble fingers handpick the two leaves and bud which is then manufactured in the traditional way, with the art of the teamaker and nature’s best coming together.

Interspersed with waterfalls, rising mountain tops and natural beauty that the island formerly known as Serendib is bestowed with, rises the heart of Sri Lanka’s tea country. Cultivated over centuries, these gardens gave the island (then Ceylon), its firm place in the hearts of tea drinkers around the world for that delicious brew unmatched in taste and variety – Ceylon Tea. Featured here are some of the Dilmah tea gardens which are all a part of the Ceylon Tea plantation industry to bring you the finest tea in the world.
