Ruhuna Tea

A Bold Taste from Sri Lanka’s Lowlands

A Distinctive and Robust Tea from Sri Lanka’s Southern Region

Deep in the lush, tropical lowlands of Sri Lanka, where the warm climate and fertile soils create the perfect conditions for tea cultivation, Ruhuna Tea is grown. Unlike the delicate high-grown varieties, Ruhuna Tea is celebrated for its bold, full-bodied character, deep color, and naturally sweet undertones.

Cultivated at altitudes ranging from sea level to 2,000 feet (600 meters), Ruhuna Tea stands out as one of Sri Lanka’s most distinctive teas. Its strong, malty richness and unique aroma make it a favorite among those who enjoy a powerful, invigorating cup.

For tea lovers who appreciate a strong brew with depth and intensity, Ruhuna Tea is an unforgettable experience—a true reflection of the vibrant spirit of Sri Lanka’s southern lowlands.

A Unique Terroir – The Secret Behind Its Strength

Ruhuna’s tropical climate, abundant rainfall, and rich soil contribute to the rapid growth of tea plants, producing larger, thicker leaves than those found in higher-elevation regions. These leaves, when expertly processed, yield a tea that is strong, dark, and naturally sweet, with a distinctive malty richness.

Unlike high-grown teas that develop a crisp briskness, Ruhuna Tea is known for its smooth, syrupy texture and deep, full-bodied character, making it an excellent choice for strong tea lovers and milk tea enthusiasts alike.

A Bold and Smooth Flavor – Rich, Malty & Aromatic

Ruhuna Tea is best known for its intense depth of flavor, low astringency, and natural sweetness. Its ability to hold up well to milk, spices, and sweeteners makes it a perfect base for spiced chai and traditional milk tea preparations.
