The Rich Legacy of Sri Lankan Tea

Introduction

Sri Lanka is synonymous with tea. As the world’s fourth-largest tea producer, the island nation is famed for its rich tea heritage. At Knuckles Valley Plantations, we take pride in continuing this legacy, offering premium Sri Lankan tea grown with care and tradition.

The Origins of Ceylon Tea

Ceylon tea, named after the island’s colonial name, gained international recognition in the late 19th century. Sri Lanka’s unique climate, with its tropical weather and mountainous terrain, creates the perfect environment for growing tea with a distinct aroma and flavor.

Why Ceylon Tea Stands Out

Ceylon tea is celebrated for its:

  • Distinct Flavors: From light and floral to strong and robust.
  • Health Benefits: Rich in antioxidants, promoting heart health and digestion.
  • Sustainability: Grown using eco-friendly and ethical practices.

At Knuckles Valley Plantations, we follow a meticulous process:

  • Hand-Picking: Only the finest leaves are selected.
