Discover the bold character of Basilur Ruhunu Tea, crafted in the southern region of Sri Lanka — the famed Ruhunu district. This breathtaking area, embraced by the shimmering Indian Ocean and stretching into lush rainforests, nurtures some of the island’s most distinctive tea gardens. Here, at elevations from sea level up to 2,000 feet, the soil is enriched by the unique coastal–tropical blend of the region, producing a tea renowned for its rich, robust flavour and deep, velvety liquor. A cup of Ruhunu tea is more than a brew — it’s a taste of Sri Lanka’s southern soul.
