Terroir & Climate
At 7 metres elevation, this estate sits in the low-country tea-growing zone of Sri Lanka, close to sea level and subject to the warm, humid conditions typical of coastal and near-coastal districts. Estates at this altitude generally experience year-round warmth and higher rainfall, which tends to support vigorous plant growth and faster flush cycles compared to higher-elevation gardens.
Low-country Sri Lankan estates often benefit from the southwest monsoon between May and September and the northeast monsoon from December to February, though microclimatic variation can be significant. The combination of heat, moisture, and relatively low diurnal temperature variation typically promotes rapid leaf development, which can influence both yield and the chemical profile of the made tea.
Tea Produced
This estate produces black tea. Low-grown Sri Lankan black teas generally yield a darker, more robust cup character than their high-elevation counterparts, often with fuller body and stronger, sometimes earthier, flavour notes. Estates at this altitude typically produce teas suited to blending and to markets where strength and colour are prioritised, though cup quality can vary considerably depending on manufacturing skill and leaf handling.
Operator
The estate is operated by Ceylon Tea Marketing Pvt. Ltd - Factory. No other estates operated by this company are currently recorded in our directory.
