Sri Lanka, formerly know as Ceylon, is a beautiful  tropical island off the southern tip of India.  Most tea estates are in higher elevations between 3000-8000 feet in two areas of the southwest part of the island.  The bushes grow more slowly in the cooler mistier climate and are harder to harvest because of the slope.  The leaves produce a rich, distinct golden liquor  with an intense taste.
