Teas of Sri Lanka Once the world's largest producer of tea, the island of Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) is renowned for the superior quality of its tea. The majority of Sri Lanka's tea gardens are situated in the south-west of the island at a height of between 1,000 and 2,500 metres, with the finest teas grown at the highest altitudes where the cool and slightly misty climate results in a slow growth of the tea bushes, giving these teas their uniquely colourful liquor and intense flavour.

Teas of India India is one of the world's largest producers of tea, with three main speciality teas: Assam, Darjeeling and Nilgiri. The tea gardens of Assam lie in the fertile valley of the Brahmaputra River in Northern India, where tropical conditions and high levels of rainfall produce teas that are traditionally strong and pungent with a rich, malty flavour.
