Malwatte/Welimada sub district

Plantations situated in this valley come alive during July to September when the South West monsoon winds blow. They are huddled together on a wild and wind swept location sheltered by the Uva range of mountains. The dehydrating winds bring about a unique organic change in the tender leaves of the tea bush, to produce an extraordinary flavour that no other tea producer can ever hope to yield.

They produce a strong pungent tea widely used to improve quality in many blended teas. It satisfies all the requirements of the connoisseur tea drinker who looks for strength, character and flavour. The highest burst of flavour is obtained during August when the monsoon is active.

Haputale sub district

Tea plantations in and around Haputale enjoy strange weather conditions. They experience long periods of incessant rain and mist during the monsoon, but a few days of dry windy weather can completely change the character of the crop harvested. The arid winds tend to cause on the delicate leaves of the tea bush a marvel that produces an unusual quality that is special to this area, and uncommon in other parts.

Badulla, Hali-Ela, Demodara, Passara sub districts

All these plantations surround the noble mountain of Namunukula that towers to over 6,000 feet, and this popular landmark determines the quality levels of the neighbouring estates.

They generally produce light and mild teas during the pre-season. When the dry winds blow at the time of the monsoon, the character of the tea leaves change giving more colour and strength to their brew, making for a full-bodied cup of tea.

Madulsima

The strong winds originating from the South West arrive at this point, a spent force, but still capable of transmitting a certain degree of flavour to the tea. They acquire brightness, and with sufficient flavour to compensate, it turns out to be a pleasing drink.
