Terroir & Climate
At 1,428 metres above sea level, this estate occupies the mid-to-upper band of Sri Lanka's high-grown zone, where cooler temperatures and greater diurnal variation tend to slow leaf maturation. Estates at this elevation in the Haputale district generally benefit from the south-west monsoon between May and September, followed by drier inter-monsoon periods that influence flush timing and leaf chemistry. The latitude, close to 7° N, ensures a relatively stable photoperiod year-round, though seasonal rainfall patterns typically drive the intensity and frequency of harvests.
Soils in the central highlands are generally well-drained and acidic, formed over ancient metamorphic rock, and the consistent cloud cover at these altitudes often moderates direct solar radiation. Such conditions typically favour slower vegetative growth and the accumulation of secondary metabolites, which can contribute to the aromatic complexity and briskness for which high-grown Ceylon teas are known. The specific soil composition and microclimate of this estate remain undocumented.
Tea Produced
Greenfield Bio Plantations produces black tea, the dominant category in Sri Lanka's high-grown districts. Estates in Haputale at comparable elevations typically yield teas with a bright, coppery liquor, medium body, and a brisk, clean astringency. The cup character often exhibits floral or citrus notes, with a lively rather than heavy profile, though specific cultivars, manufacturing protocols, and seasonal variation all influence the final leaf. Without published tasting records or buyer specifications, the precise style and grade range produced here are not confirmed.
