From the Labookele Tea Estate located in the Dimbula District of Sri Lanka. Dimbula teas are perhaps the most famous of Sri Lanka. In the 1870s, Dimbula was one of the first areas to have tea plants replace the former coffee crop. Monsoons drench Dimbula during autumn and this results in exquisite teas during the first flush months of January and February. Generally, Dimbula tea leaves are long and wiry and give an exquisite taste, with body and strength and a powerful aroma.
