Category: Uva (ඌව)

The second-least populated province in Sri Lanka, Uva has tea plantations that vary in altitude from 3,300 to 5,600 feet above sea level (thus producing some high grown tea). Uva receives a great deal of rain in the winter with harsh winds in summer, which in turn endows its tea with a very unique style. Probably the most popular Uva tea in the West are Greens produced from several gardens in and surrounding Idulgashinna.
