Dimbula

Between the two high plateau of NuwaraEliya and Horton Plains lies the tea-growing district of Dimbula, the name derived from the valley which lies at the heart of the region.  It is also part of the true Mayarata, or land of illusions, attributed to being the haunt of demons and evil spirits where few ventured to.  With an elevation of only 1,250m (4000ft), it is still specified as ‘high grown’.   The teas of the district were found to produce a distinctive flavor, prized by tea-lovers to this day. Dimbula yields the best teas during the ‘quality season’ of March to early April when the air is cool and crisp by day and cold and windy at night. The character of Dimbula teas is a fine golden-orange hue in the cup with a distinctive freshness that leaves a clean feeling in the mouth.
