Sabaragamuwa Tea

Rich, Bold, and Unique

A Distinctive Low-Grown Treasure from Sri Lanka

In the southern lowlands of Sri Lanka, where the climate is warm, the air is humid, and the soil is rich, lies the Sabaragamuwa tea-growing region. Known for producing some of the most full-bodied and robust Ceylon teas, Sabaragamuwa Tea is a true testament to the diversity and richness of Sri Lanka’s tea heritage.

This region, located at altitudes ranging from sea level to 2,500 feet (750 meters), produces teas that are dark, malty, and naturally sweet, offering a rich, smooth, and deeply satisfying experience. Unlike the lighter high-grown varieties, Sabaragamuwa Tea is bold and complex, making it a favorite among those who love a strong and flavorful cup.

Whether enjoyed plain, with milk, or as a base for spiced tea blends, Sabaragamuwa Tea stands out for its distinctive character, deep color, and enchanting aroma.

The Unique Terroir of Sabaragamuwa – Where Strength Meets Smoothness

The warm, humid climate and fertile soils of the Sabaragamuwa region allow tea leaves to grow quickly and abundantly, developing a rich, smooth taste with minimal astringency. Unlike high-grown teas, which are known for their crisp and brisk nature, Sabaragamuwa Tea is low in tannins, giving it a smooth, almost silky finish.

This region also experiences seasonal rainfall, which influences the tea’s distinct flavor profile and bold liquor, making it one of Sri Lanka’s most unique and flavorful low-grown teas.

A Bold and Velvety Flavor – Naturally Sweet and Aromatic

Sabaragamuwa Tea is prized for its strong, malty richness, deep amber infusion, and lingering sweetness. It is a tea that delivers both intensity and smoothness, making it perfect for those who love a full-bodied yet well-balanced brew.
